SigEp actually did institute a national "Golden Hearts" program in the early '70s, complete with registration and official pins, etc. However, as was stated in a prior post there were legitimate fears that anti-discrimination legislation would not allow Greeks to keep same-sex status and still qualify for tax advantages (i.e 501c3 status) if they had sex based "classes of membership".
After a few years, and a number of other complications with the program, HQ decided to shut down the program. And because the discrimination lawsuits had already affected Jaycees and other traditionally all-male groups it was decided not to have ANY programs and to discourage chapters from having their own.
Do I agree or disagree with that? Not the point. It is simply history.
