According to a few Brothers who were active at Epsilon Zeta (RPI in Troy,
NY) during 1974-1976, women who were Affiliate members were given all the
"rights, benefits, & privileges" of Active members, with the exception of
going through the formal initiation ceremony. That included voting, holding
office, and having Littles.
The active Brothers at the time developed a second, similar ceremony for
women to go through. When women were formally allowed to become Active
members in 1976, most (though not all) of the women at the Chapter who had
been Affiliates members were "re-initiated" through the formal ceremony as
well.
