I personally would not have any problem at all with an openly gay sister. No one in my chapter was openly gay, but if someone had come out - she'd still be my sister.

I have seen some very homophobic incidents at my school involving other orgs, though.

There was some unpleasantness between two fraternities while I was an undergrad. A member of one fraternity came out, and his brothers really supported him... but the second fraternity allegedly painted some homophobic graffiti at the first fraternity's house.

There was also some unpleasantness within a sorority, where there was a sister who was very well liked, popular, was a chapter officer, etc. She came out, and suddenly her sisters wouldn't speak to her, and she was never elected to office again.

So I guess YMMV... but really, if you can't come out to your own sisters or brothers, who can you come out to?
