According to a fraternity history document on Lafayette's web page,
women were not admitted into Lafayette College until 1970. Frank Reed
Horton founded an organization that was reflective of the population of
his college...which , at the time of 1925, was all-male.
It would have been impossible for him in 1925 to create a co-ed
organization at Lafayette.......
