Opie, you're right, and what I was suggesting was just a half meaure. It certainly couldn't prove someone was entirely what they claimed they were.

That's why I have mixed feeling about the site. I'm glad there's a supportive place for gay Greeks to go if they need it. But in using the "real" details, it runs the risk of being incorrect. Part of me thinks it would be better by avoiding those details, like GC does, but that would have the deleterious effect of suggesting that gay Greeks need to hide their identity.

I'd like to think that this wasn't a problem in my chapter (I mean, we had one sister who was GLBA president when we gave her a bid), but I know there were others on my campus who struggled. My boyfriend's roommate depledged his fraternity and subsequently came out. He never did initiate. Knowing many of his brothers, I'd like to think they would have been supportive, but that doesn't mean I'm right, and it would have been nice for him to have somewhere to go. I'm sure coming out for him was an issue with lots of people other than his brothers, but if he had known they would be there for him it could have made the rest of it easier.

Perhaps it's possible to leave the site as is, but if a complaint about its accuracy is received, to ardently try to investigate it at that point. If there was no Alpha Gam chapter at that particular school, there is the extremely slim possibility she is an alum initiate, but it ought to be looked into. But having inaccurate info posted opens the door for a lawsuit, since we live in a sue-happy country.
