I think what happened at UChicago is horrible. That they are placing blame on fraternity members is not appropriate. However, we must face the fact that there are chapters out there that do not welcome homosexual people in an open manner. Members who are homosexual, in intolerant chapters, often do not come out to their organization. It is sad, but true. Look at your own campus, I'm sure you can see it if you look. The Fiji Pres is well...probably not the person who necessarily knows. A football player can be gay.
Anyhow, I like the idea of bringing speakers, we did last semester with the Alliance. They addressed the issue of Gays and Greeks. There are a few books that have come out one I know of is Out On Fraternity Row. The speaker does tours and gives speaches. Someone tried to bring him here, but he a bit of money. Also Campuspeak.com does all those speakers, esp nat'l convention speakers, they might have someone.
The issue should be addressed, but it is too bad it is reactionary.
