I can't find anything in the National By-laws forbidding it, but there
are a couple of places where the by-laws assume that it is true, I believe.
However to start a second chapter at the school, you would need
permission for the school and the National M&E committee and to charter
you'd need permission of 2/3 of the chapters in the section.
For starters I seriously doubt the National M&E committee would approve
it nad I'd imagine most schools would be opposed as well. As for a 2/3
vote of the chapters in a section to approve a co-ed chapter at a school
that has an active co-ed chapter, that would be difficult as well. For
that to happen, I think you'd need a section that was both "liberal" and
"large" (so that if one or more of the co-ed chapters would vote against
as well as the all-male chapter already on the campus) it still would
pass.
