I wouldn't say we're do gooders. I'm thrilled we have the right to choose because some girls just are not worthy of my letters, or of anyone. I would say that we're living the parts of our creeds that tell us to "be nice to everyone and play fair." Once again, how do you think it because universally okay in sororities to not discriminate on race? Chapters at the individual level starting taking African-American women, and then it got put in national bylaws. Same thing with taking Catholic women. I am still ashamed that there are members of my sorority who would cut you just for being a lesbian. Yes, I am from up north and have no idea what a large school's recruitment is like - but if you're going to be that shallow, you aren't living by the ideals of Gamma Phi Beta, and I KNOW that at least according to creeds, most other groups have those values. Like <b>sugar and spice</b> said, there are lots of ways we can still discriminate, and I don't think sexual orientation should be one. I'm embarassed that it's not in our bylaws yet.
