Title IX, EDUCATION AMENDMENTS OF 1972 to use its full name, is a federal law dealing with school receiving governement funding that was created to force gender equality at schools.

This affected things like sports teams, school clubs, and the like. general/social fraternities and sororities were exempt (as are a few other groups), but most other groups were not. This affected my fraternity, and was one of the factors that caused us to go co-ed. There were other college groups that also went co-ed for the same reason (ex: Iron Arrow Society at University of Miami).

Since it was the 30th anniversary of it recently, there has been several articles about it. But most of them focused on the affects on college sports.

Hope this helps.
Thanks. I should have been clearer with my question. I know what Title IX is. I had never heard of it being relevant to GLOs or more specifically NPHC orgs.
