In a previous message John R Hall <Jrhmdtraum@AOL.COM> stated:

How can this be true? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I've always been
told that it wasn't until '76 that women were officially even allowed
into the fraternity. I find it very hard to believe that the '73
convention would have passed this legislation. Also, with the exception
of the first convention in 1931 and the constitutional convention in
'67, all of the National Conventions have been held in even-numbered
years, so there wasn't a convention in '73.
