In regards to some of the comments.
You are correct it is a college. This however does not mean it is privately funded.
Definition of a College, and a University.
A University a just a group of Colleges. At a University you will more than likely have a College of Arts and Sciences and a College of Business.
You are right there are ones that want equal rights, that is fine. I know there is a difference between them and the ones that decide men cant have anything to themselves and will sue to get it even if they hurt people in the mean time. I have never heard of Cuts Fitness. As for these secret societies, they allow women. It is in their best interest to do so. Fraternities and Sorrorites are somehow exempt from all of this, not sure why maybe because it is a Greek tradtion.
Lodges however, at least where I lived in CA, were forced to allow women as well. Might have just been one woman that wanted it. It actually caused, at least a few that I know of, to shut down and the men decided to just meet on their own. In defense of the wives of some of these women they reacted through the community and came out in favor of the men having this as their own. My guess is that it allowed them to have time to themselves when their husbands went to the meetings.
You were right I was grouping them together even though I know there is a difference for this I apologize.

Your definitions do not include issues with funding. In the United States there is "usually" a large difference in the amount of financial assistance a school receives depending on whether they call themselves a university or college. I say usually because there are exceptions and I will not pretend to know the exact inner workings of Wells College. I pointed this out only because of policies in the U.S. that allow some segregations to occur unless funded by the government, in which case equal rights apply.
As far as all male societies, I pointed out these examples to illustrate that they exist, not that all of these are all single-gender. There are all feminine secret societies as well. This is only to point out that white males are not excluded and do form their own groups just as every sex, ethnicity, sexual preference, handicap, etc. do.
I will also point out that yes, several of these will receive scrutiny for forming their own groups and that includes but is not limited to white men. If you decided that you wanted to form your own modern He-Man Woman-Haters Club, I'm sure there are several that would have something to say about it and perhaps some that would even sue, but this is and should be within your rights, so long as it is privately run and funded.
The difference in how much they get is not determined by their title. A university is a collection of colleges so therefore it will get more. It has nothing to do with title it only has to do with how many students it supports.
I would think the funding a university or college receives not only depends on federal but also private grants so their monetary aid depends upon the financial quality of the students and/or their family and on the income of cherished alumni. People of wealth will typically send their children to ivy league schools but occasionally some are sent to lower rated colleges and universities. To improve the lifestyle of their offspring, generous donations were necessary. In the past, this also ensured enrollment. Alumni have also contributed to their alma mater which can be witnessed by the many buildings named in their honor. Which school would have the most alumni? A small college or a large university? Which school is bigger? Enrollment depends upon the size of the facility so it's in a college's best interest to admit only students who will later contribute to their expansions and improvements. A women's college would be better off admitting women if a wealthy employer and proponent of women's rights were more likely hire someone of a similar mind with similar goals. The wealthy employer would also be more likely to promote someone of a similar mind which would increase the chances of the alumni of becoming wealthy and making a lavish donation to their alma mater for making their employment possible.
