The issue of openly gay sisters has come up in discussion among my friends who are greek but not on my campus...on my campus, it has never been a big deal whether or not a PNM or sister was gay or bi or even straight! as far as i'm concerned, i approach the discussion of anyone's sexual orientation with acceptance and an open mind...i know that on other campuses that might not be as liberal as my own, i would find it even more interesting to talk to a PNM about her experience because of the struggles that she might face as an openly gay college woman...those struggles can add aspects of character that can be very valuable to the sisterhood on a conservative campus, as you know that that PNM is willing to stand up for what she believes in
with regards to mysterious cuts, every situation is different. perhaps the PNM or sister during the party had opposing views on issues in addition to sexual orientation, maybe the PNM became defensive or belligerent about her stance or maybe the PNM just wasn't nice! we can never know what goes on behind chapter doors that aren't our own, so i think it's best to keep an open mind, not only about the views of PNMs but the decisions of sisters
