I'd like to add... the very strict house rules about men not being in the "private/sleeping" areas of a house also came from the court challenging of single sex organizations.
I don't know what kind of process the Lambda Chi Crescents or TKE Little Sisters went through on our campus to be members, but they had jackets of their own, wore letters, helped with rush, were cheerleaders during Greek Week and were a structured sub-organization of the fraternities. I do believe there was some sort of initiation process, although I'm fairly certain it WASN'T the process that was rumoured. There were a few women who were in those and also in an NPC, but usually, they joined an NPC after the little sis experience, because they figured out that being in your own group was a lot more fun (could actually participate in Greek Week, etc).
