Kettering is definitely a very unique school.
As Momof5 alluded to, there is an "A" session and a "B" session, which basically take turns being on campus. So, even though you technically attend the same university during the same time frame, you won't be on campus at the same time and will likely never cross paths.
(Sounds confusing, I know, and Momof5 if I did a bad job of explaining please let me know!)
So, for 11 weeks, the "A" session students would be on campus while the "B" students were off campus for engineering co-ops.
Next 11 weeks, the "B" session students would be on campus while the "A" session students would be off campus for engineering co-ops.
Then the cycle repeats every 11 weeks...with the student body essentially divided in half the whole time.
AGDee might be better able to confirm whether the Alpha Gam chapter at Kettering is for one session only...she has worked in an advisory type capacity with them. I'm only familiar with that chapter to the extent of seeing them at statewide events, etc.
The male to female ratio was crazy at GMI/Kettering...I recall a lot of their male students visiting MSU to meet ladies, since there weren't a whole lot on their campus.
ETA: Apparently AGDee beat me to the answer while I was typing my response. lol
