I'm intrigued that there are more fraternities listed on that list than there are sororities. I'm also really heartened that many of those fraternities have resources on how to react when a brother comes out to you, that's a great idea and a great way to increase sensitivity and tolerance while processing what for many is often difficult news to handle.

My brother has two brothers that are openly gay and I believe one that is bisexual. This did prove to be somewhat of an issue during their last recruitment as three of their nine pledges expressed discomfort over being brothers with openly gay men but got over themselves, and one turned his pledge pin in over the matter (but later wound up getting a bid and initiating in any case). How that situation has turned out, I'm not sure yet because this was at the end of last spring and school hasn't begun yet for this year, but I'm hoping that it doesn't get in the way of the chapter's unity (they're a small chapter and this latest pledge class essentially saved the chapter from near extinction).
