[SigmaNuHX766]

HX chapter has a few openly gay and a few not-openly gay brothers. I've found that out of the many guys I've seen come through this chapter since 2005, they have been some of our most productive, helpful, and dedicated members.

Our chapter enjoys its diversity.

One rather funny incident though... Events Management in our student center double booked our open-mic night Rush event with ODU-OUT's Open-mic night (ODU-OUT is a support org for GLBT students). We were fine with this... they were not. We've actually co-sponsored events with them in the past, but their new leadership is REALLLLY anti-Greek to the point that it's almost laughable.

Anyways, one of our brothers who is openly gay introduced himself on stage, in letters, saying: "Hi everyone... My name is ***** of the Sigma Nu fraternity, and you CAN be queer and go Greek!" *crowd uproar from the ODU-OUT audience members* "I know, because I AM GAY. I have a poem to read..."

You guys should have seen the looks on their faces. They've been nicer about the Greek-bashing since then.


Also, there was an incident involving lawyers with one of our candidates that we refused to initiate. He wasn't openly gay, and no one knew he was gay... but he felt as though he was being persecuted. In actuality, he skipped out on the check a few times when eating out with brothers, adding up to ~$60 in the end, which he lied about later, and was also outwardly rude to most of the other candidates and brothers. We denied him for the 2nd semester in a row. He lost a lot of money on those lawyers he hired, I bet.
