Easy enough to verify.

Here is the problem. This would take care of most of the
chapters at historically white schools (Auburn, Drexel, etc.) (I only
found a couple of historically white schools with all-male APO chapters that
don't have a service sorority, and they mostly didn't have student
organizations on the web)
However itwould leave a big hole for the historically black schools. Most
of the Greek Letter Organizations male and female at historically black
schools are social/service greeks (Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Kappa Alpha)
and the question is are they equivalent.
Do we really want to set up our Regional Directors as judges of OTHER
groups service programs?

How would you judge whether a "little sister" program is good enough?

It covers most of the ones at historically white schools.
