Title IX question...

[naraht]

I was thinking about Alpha Nu Omega and the way that Philippines Fraternities work. Would a group where at schools there were separate Fraternity and Sorority chapters fulfill Title IX?

Assume the following (set up for Alpha Phi Omega - Philippines). School have separate Fraternity (which has brothers) and Sorority (which has sisters) chapters. Both groups have the same founding requirements, but this can occur separately. So you could have a sorority chapter at a school, but if there aren't enough men interested to found a fraternity chapter, it wouldn't exist, (and vice versa). If later enough men because interested, they could apply to become a fraternity chapter (which would get the same chapter designation). Both Fraternity and Sorority chapters vote at the National Convention for all offices, however two of the offices are specifically "Fraternity Affairs" and "Sorority Affairs" (which by the National By-laws could be held by members of either gender, however in practice, FA is held by a brother and SA by a sister.
