The national educational fraternity, Phi Delta Kappa, formally expelled the Harvard chapter at its convention this week after the chapter's long fight to admit women to the fraternity.
However, the Harvard group, which was suspended in January for having admitted women since 1969 in defiance of fraternity bylaws, was victorious in defeat.
Under pressure from various women's groups--especially the Women's Equity Action League which has filed a suit with HEW--the organization approved by 70 per cent an amendment providing full and equal membership for women.

He said that the contradictory action of Phi Delta Kappa was "a purely political move to preserve the organization for the men who head it up."
