Could you please send me to the specific section of Title IX where it defines the term social fraternities and sororities. I see them mentioned and requirements placed as to how they qualify for exemption (i.e. being tax exempt under 26 USC 501a) but I have not found an actual definition of the term social v. service fraternity in the statute.

Also, could you please explain how APO or GSS having single sex chapters on many campuses does not violate Titile IX if you are not exempt from it. I would think that any female student denied memebership in APO on a campus with an all male chapter would then have a cause of action, regardless of the existance of a GSS chapter since they are two unique and distinct organizations.
Hi Kimmie,

I provided a link to the Title IX Regulation in an earlier post in this thread. I think Alpha Phi Omega is excempt from the regulation because they're associated with the Boy Scouts of America (even though they're co-ed). The reason why that makes them exempt is mentioned in section 6B of the Title IX statute.
