Also, what gay girl in her right mind would willfully surround herself with attractive, intelligent, driven women she can't even hit on because of potential rifts in the sisterhood? It would be sheer torture!
Finally, gay people have great, tight knit clubs and support groups. They don't really need to join a sorority.
Gay men, on the other hand, have gay fraternities where they're forbidden to date a fellow brother.

I think there are plenty of gay women in sororities who don't hit on their sister. I'm a member of AITP, which in my opinion has tons of attractive, intelligent, driven men and I manage to do just fine without hitting on them - same with College Democrats. I know a lot of gay men in fraternities and they don't hit on their brothers unless the brother is also openly gay. I would welcome a gay sister with open arms - she is my sister, and that is all that matters to me.
That being said, I can see where it would sadly hurt people in some recruitments - you can have all the non-discrimanation clauses you want, but I bet every org has a chapter that has rejected somebody for one of those reasons anyway. Is it sad? Yes, but it still happens.
