The Open membership was made to "represent a cross section of the student
body" Chapters may determine their own membership (ie national cannot tell
them to accept someone) as long as (Policies 3.3): "Chapter membership
requirements may be adopted that are not in conflict with state and local
law, the National Bylaws and Standard Chapter Articles of Association"
Hence, chapters can determine their own membership as long as it is OPEN and
represents a CROSS SECTION OF THE STUDENT BODY. ie if the student body is
coed, membership must be coed.
