I so disagree with this statement. First, the members make the rules, not the other way around - if the rules are found to be lame and stupid and useless by the majority of the members they should be changed. White clauses used to be "rules" too, and thank God we don't have those any more.
Yes, I joined a sorority to focus on making connections with other girls. That doesn't mean that I don't occasionally like to spend some time with a male, like an adult, not like a high schooler in my parents' house. That's like saying your kids should take precedence over your husband, because you had them, didn't you? Most sororities stress being well rounded. Women with no social lives - be they straight, gay, whatever - are not well rounded.
And to edit, that's another thing. What if you do have a sister who's gay? She can get her freak on at all hours of the day or night because she's dating another female.
