We do have the right to choose our own members, but most of our bylaws insist that we cannot choose our own members based on such arbitrary characteristics like race, physical appearance, religion, etc.
Unfortunately, Tri Delta is one of the few NPC sororities (I think there are only two or three) that forbid discrimination based on sexual preference. I think this will change quite a bit in the next ten or so years. If the only reason we were to deny membership to a lesbian was because she was a lesbian, we'd be violating our bylaws.
Why is it different for a lesbian PNM versus a sister who later comes out to you?
