3. Social fraternities and sororities could welcome opposite-gender people if they wanted to and still not lose their right to determine their own membership. I know a woman who pledged an NIC fraternity as a male freshman and then transitioned to being a woman. As far as I know, she still maintains her membership.

This is not consistent with what we were told back when Title IX passed. We were told that we were granted an exemption and could remain single gender organizations as long as we, in no way, allowed the other gender to join. At that time, all of the fraternities with little sisters groups ended the practice of little sisters groups and we were told we could not participate in big brother/big sister kinds of relationships with fraternities because it would jeopardize our ability to remain a single gender organization.
For Title IX purposes for sports and things, what criteria do they use to define it? Gender or sex?

Most are still women's schools- Barnard, Wellesley, Smith, Bryn Mawr and Mount Holyoke.
Vassar went co-ed and Radcliffe merged into Harvard.
