<< And who knows, maybe having gay members could improve your rep with other under-represented groups ("Well, that group is cool with their gay sis/bro, they must be open-minded people. That's not what I thought of greek life before. Maybe I'll rush next year.") You never know, it could happen. I'm sure the first black person to get into a predominantly white GLO changed the minds of more than few GDI's.>>
i totally agree with AZpinkkittie on this one...why would you want to have a bunch of sorority sisters that look/talk/act exactly like you? i think that having gay or bisexual sisters would add to the bonds of sisterhood just like having sisters of different races, faiths and economic backgrounds because you have something to SAY to each other...i would think that conflict would only come up if sisters stopped listening and respecting each other...and it seems like the only things that people are afraid of are A) their campus reputation and B) sisters hitting on them, two issues that i think can be worked out if their sisterhood is truly strong...every organization has to deal with rumors and stereotypes, half of the time it's not even true...and i think that sisters can and should respect each other's sexuality just as they would their heritage, hearts and minds, meaning that the chances of a sister hitting on you or sexually harassing are less than people think...this discussion has made me thankful that my campus is liberal and we never discuss gay or bi lifestyles during rush as if it were the only thing a girl had to offer, as if she wasn't a good student, athlete, dancer, friend or potential sister
