Declared inactive (Feb 2009)

I had about a 3page document I was writing on history of gender in APO going all the way back to the beginning when I accidently hit the left arrow key while not inside the edit window causing it to return to the previous page. I'll attempt to rewrite it tonight but interesting points from after 1970 (There is a lot prior to 1970 in what I wrote as well)

There were both *internal* and *external* reasons that the fraternity went co-ed. At the 1974 convention, before the ruling on Alpha Phi Omega and Title IX at the HEW, the vote to allow women as full brothers got a majority, just not the 2/3 needed.

The National Fraternity was still working to get an exemption from the HEW ruling on Title IX as of 1981.

The National Fraternity did not allow all male extension efforts after 1986.
