As far as debating whether or not the fraternity would have survived
without the admission of women, I won't offer my opinion since it's
a purely hypothetical question. However, keeping in mind that Title IX
was the catalyst for coeducation at many public universities such as
mine, the chapters at such schools would have been forced to fold
had they stayed all male. At the very least, they would have lost
official recognition and, most important, student activity funding.
That's why our chapter accepted women not long after Rutgers College
went coed in 1972.
