Status of all-male chapters
I thought I would start a thread with information on the choices for the chapters that were all-male as of the 2006 Convention. As I see it there are four possible results as of December 27th, 2008.
A) The chapter has initiated female brothers
B) The chapter has tried to recruit women to pledge and been unsuccessful.
C) The chapter hasn't accepted women and is going to fight on the floor having their charter pulled at the 2008 convention.
D) The chapter has left the National Fraternity.
The information I have (with the level of sureity of my information)
Region I.
Sigma Xi (Maine-Orono) intends to leave the Fraternity. (80%+)
Region IV
Gamma Lambda (Clemson) and Gamma Chi (Samford) have accepted women. (100%)
Region V
Pi Chi (Duqesne) is still in the process of transition, but intends to stay in the Fraternity. (75%) (and there are people on this board who can speak to that in much detail, but from what I understand they amount of help they've gotten from the local staff on this is at the level both staff and chapter
are happy with, if they want/need more help, they've got at least 3 chapters with a significant number of women who could get to campus by city bus)

Region III
Mu Alpha has decided to expel all women and revert back to the good old Schroeder/Clinton days, effectively leaving the fraternity. The expelled women and male sympathizers will transfer to Trinity and petition to have the Mu Alpha charter transferred there.

Confirmation on Sigma Xi
Sigma Xi chapter at Maine-Orono has decided to leave. While I'm not certain whether the staff will attempt to keep the chapter alive with those who prefer to stay or with others, it appears that the majority of the chapter have decided to go local.

Alpha Delta recently changed its name from Alpha Phi Omega in January, after the national fraternity began making it more adult-based, allowing female members to join and taking away the student-focus. Martin claimed the name change was due to the "ideological split," and Feldpausch defended the decision because of their desire to remain service oriented and student run.
WTF??? That's not a name change, that's the betrayal of an oath.

Forwarded on as well
Before I posted it here, I also sent it to what I thought were the appropriate people (S 94 chair, Region I director, PD Membership), not because I thought it was news to them, but that it was published.

The oath I made began "The purpose of this fraternity shall be to assemble college men..."
Just sayin.

Well, my oath at least did. Apparently we are looking at two completely different oaths.

That is the purpose. The Oath is the one that starts "I will do my best to exemplify the principles..." as put on page 5 of the current pledge manual. (whether or not the oath should be in the pledge manual is a different thread)
The purpose has changed from "to assemble college men" to "assemble college students". (and did so many years ago).
