I too am glad you are on the west coast. Also, in regards to who we give bids to, I disagree somewhat. I don't really come across many minorities at my school that would really fit in in my fraternity. Most black students at my school are generally part of popular black culture, and that doesn't work for us. However, I'm pretty sure our preppy white southern culture doesn't really work for most of them either. I'm not sure what would happen if we were approached by a minority who would be a good fit, because it hasn't happened since I've been here. Actually, I don't believe any minority has attempted to rush my fraternity during my tenure. That aside, I would have a problem with bidding a gay person. I'm sure there will be reactions such as "not all gay guys are attracted to all other guys" and I'm positive that is true. That being said, it would make the large majority of my fraternity uncomfortable, and would go against the ideals of my fraternity, and the faith of most of the brotherhood. Unfortunately, like I said, many on this board would probably consider me a racist and a homophobe, despite the legitimacy and logic of my reasoning.
