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.
