As far as I know, all Social Greek Organizations (i.e. Fraternities and
Sororities) that are members of their respective
Inter-Fraternity/Sorority Councils are exempt from Title IX, due to the
fact that there is a "counterpart" organization for members of the
opposite sex to join. At Old Dominion, I do know that individual
fraternities and sororities receive NO FUNDING from the state (i.e.
student activities), and are funded through the
inter-fraternity/sorority councils. I currently do not know of any
schools that require their fraternities and sororities to be co-ed,
although it may be different in that state. This is the way it is in
Virginia.
