Absolutely.

I remember back when I was advising my chapter, this exact issue came up as we had some trans kids going through recruitment. Our guys weren't really concerned about anything other than whether those individuals were of high enough character to belong.

--it was a proud moment.

It is basically a question as to which Nationals are willing to pull a charter over a chapter admitting someone who is trans of the gender of the GLO. Some are, some aren't.

And... we're back to the 1960s, where national fraternities went looking through the yearbook photos of their chapters...

Not trying to be funny, but what does this mean?

I also recall that some universities omitted yearbooks during the 60s and 70s due to lack of student interest.

As I understood it, at least once a National NIC Fraternity found out that one of their chapters had admitted a non-white from yearbook photos. I do not remember if Asian or African-American.

And as for the omitted yearbooks, that was after most of the GLOs had removed the racial restrictions. Doing my wikipedia research, I tend to look through a lot of yearbooks. Having a page (or half-page) per GLO *tended* to exist through the mid-1960s and came back in the late 1970s. In the intervening period, at some schools they because *very* chaotic and getting any information on student groups on campus based on them is very difficult.
