Then they'll have a huge lawsuit on their hands from a variety of groups
including the ACLU, NOW, and various others that would interpret such a
ridiculous policy as absolutely ridiculous!
I'll assume that you aren't simply trolling and have thoughts about why this
would happen that I simply haven't come up with. So, in what instance would
a co-ed university ever look at a service organization like APO and say
"we'll allow you to form a chapter here, but it can only have male members?"
The only case I can think of is if the university said "this APO thing will
be classified as a fraternity" and "we require our fraternities to be all
male." I'd guess, though, that typically the all-maleness of fraternities
is defined by their own leadership, not by a university policy.
If this ever did come up, I'd say that the response of our national
leadership should be to deny that charter. Our membership policies state
that the chapter's makeup should be representative of the student
population. That's been consistently interpreted to mean that our chapters
must make a concerted not to exclude any group of students from membership
in the chapter.
