The Year 1975 in review for Phi Sigma Pi.

1975

  • Tau Chapter was informed by its university that it was in violation of Final Title IX Regulation Implementing Education Amendments of 1972 Prohibiting Sex Discrimination in Education (hereafter referred to as Title IX). After consultation with the United States Department of Health, Education and Welfare, it was concluded that the national organization must allow Tau Chapter to admit eligible women or the chapter would cease to exist by July 1, 1976. Title IX argued that since Phi Sigma Pi was an honor fraternity, it must become coeducational since remaining an all male organization would have a discriminatory effect upon the future career opportunities of eligible women.
