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)
