Actually as I recall in the late 1970's or so Rose Hulman welcomed as an
unofficial participant a brother of Alpha Phi Omega who was attending a
nearby school which did not at that time have a chapter. The Rose Hulman
crew at the time thought it funny to have a "co-ed" chapter at an all male
school. My observation was that this young woman was treated with all the
respect we could ask of brothers towards a transfer member. Obviously she
could not join officially because she was not a student at Rose.
