In 1976, Kappa Psi admitted females into the fraternity, and now the vast majority of the member chapters are co-ed. Those chapters that remain all-male have done so because of the strong activity of other professional fraternities and sororities on campus who attract those interested in alternative bases of membership, such as co-ed or all-female.
