Which is why I asked him to clarify his posting.

And since you brought this up, what would happen in your GLO if someone switched?
And to keep in simple, they are not an active undergrad.

I don't think my organization has ever had to seriously examine this question. It's probably something they'd need to hire some tax lawyers to figure out, thus the subject is best avoided.

Good answer. If I understand it, your prior postings were just your own, personal POV/HO?

I could be wrong, but I don't think tax status has anything to do with single-sex status. Tax status has to do with things like whether the organization is is for profit or not-for-profit. The single-sex/co-ed status has to do with Title IX and whether a university or college can receive federal funds while hosting a single-sex organization. There is an exception for social fraternities and sororities.

In any event, I think the presence of a handful of members who "switched," if a violation of laws concerning status under federal law, would almost certainly be considered a de minimus violation that would not bother the IRS or the Dept. of Education.

Interesting post.
However, as I tried to say and point out, I would almost be willing to say that if a person was to "change", this change would happen before school (which I just doudt for many reasons) or afterwards as a grad and alumni.

Or perhaps it is better to say IMVHO the odds of a person under going a change is much higher after school than before or during.

Something to research some day.
