I'll call back tomorrow and speak to Lori.

Actually, it's exactly what you need.

Social fraternities and social sororities incorporated as 501(a) tax-exempt organizations are exempt from Title 9. Look at section a(6) of the statute:

The full cite is 20 U.S.C. 1681(a)(6)(A).

She may need more than that. We had to get a ruling from the Dept. of Education recognizing that we're social, not professional. Don't know whether that might be the case for Beta Sigma Phi, but not being a "traditional" collegiate social sorority, the school might want more than the Articles of Incorporation. I wonder if the non-collegiate nature of BSP could aske a difference.

You're right. She may need to have some sort of statement that the chapter will consist primarily of college students.
