Holding back the train (proposals by the all-male chapters)

[emb021]

All-

Few of the proposed changes to the National Org go thru the reference committess. One I recall that did was to setup a "Student Advisory Committee" that would bring an active student from each region together, election on to be a member of the BoD. It was defeated.

The decision to go co-ed by 2008 was confirmed. As with all membership issues with chapters, I think most SC & RD will be reasonable that if a former all-male chapter is working to recruit females (promos, getting assistance from nearby co-ed chapters, etc), but is not being successful, they will not penalize them unless its clear that they have been discouraging or turning away females. I know my RD has made that clear many times in the past year or two with chapters.
