The only literary societies left, Elizabeth Baldwin Literary Society and the Owen Wister Literary Society, continued to be active up until the 1980s. Former members of many of the societies have stayed in contact and planned alumnae functions.
Although the literary societies disappeared as the remaining colleges became co-ed, these campus changes provided new opportunities for women to lead formerly male colleges in more widely respected leadership positions.
