I know you didn't make the rule, so I am not asking you to defend it....
I think it is wise to specify the relationships between initiates and prospective members because of the inescapable imbalance of power between Greek and Pledge.
But I don't agree with forbidding two people with an equal power balance from dating. Some things shouldn't be legislated.
I look at APO as an example -- straight people in APO can (and do) date, get married, breed, etc. I don't see why a same-gender couple couldn't also successfully be in a relationship.
Yes, it can get messy if the other members of the organization get involved -- that happens in APO, too.
