I personally do not like or would want a gay person pledged and initiated into Sigma Chi. Its not necesarily that I hate gay people..i mean hey i work at TGI Fridays in Florida, its like gay server central, but according to the ideals and values of which my Fraternity stands, I know that gay men shouldn't be allowed. I like them as a person but i do not at all support their lifestyle. My chapter has no gay members, but I have met a couple gay sigma chi's and i've told them that since they are initiated I have to treat them as a brother, but i wish they hadn't been initiated and don't feel they are following our founders principals. And yes if I found out that one of my pledges were gay I would expell them.
I also feel that a gay Sigma Chi would not and can not represent my Fraternity well. Now if your organization's ritual allows gay men or women that is fine, but not mine. I know im going to get blasted by people, but you have no idea what my fraternity stands for so don't tell me that I am wrong. There is a gay Chi Phi at my school who I had to work with when i was in IFC who did a lot for his Fraternity, but he also caused them a lot of grief for being gay and it hurts their rush every semester as well.
