Lo and behold, the first time I tune in for weeks and someone beckons me! Sorry, I do not have direct knowledge of the Psi U information. However, most of the old eastern fraternities have always operated much more autonomously than the younger and larger ones. During the 1970s many, in fact, did initiate women in their chapters, probably unknown to the national officers because of their loose operation -- and several still do today.
In my own Delta Upsilon, the University of Chicago Chapter was initiating women for several years (Headquarters either ignorant or avoiding to know it!) to the point that they were in control of the alumni corporation and a very valuable piece of real estate. Somehow the men wrested control of the real estate and women were no longer initiated -- probably because sororities were introduced to the campus and were more attractive to join than DU.
I suspect than many fraternities with eastern chapters may have a few female members that they are unaware of. Some of you ask why? I guess it was a 70s point of rebellion.
tld221 where in the City are you located? I am just around the corner from the Guggenheim.
