No offense concernedalum, but does it really matter all that much? I mean, I know the way your chapter is percieved is important, but it seems to me that by voicing your concern in the way you did, you're making it sound like its a BAD thing to be gay/bi.

I would be MUCH less concerned on how others percieve your chapter (I mean, do you really want NM's as closed-minded and unaccepting as that?), and more concerned with what this could to internally to your chapter.

While I know a few organizations on my campus that have done this, I always tend to wonder just how good an idea that is. I mean, let's face it, couples break up and if they have a rough split, this could cause a significant rift in your org. I would be more concerned with this aspect rather than what people on the outside will think of your chapter.

If they're happy, then why shouldn't they be allowed to "be together?" I think it's kinda f**ked up to even consider punishing them or desistering them for doing what is natural to them. If you truly are Sisters, you need to be tolerant and understanding, not ready to drop someone for being different or because you're afriad of what other people will think. That's not at all what Sisterhood/Brotherhood is about.

Besides, just because a few members are bi or gay doesn't mean the whole school is going to see your org as "the Lesbo Sorority." Calm down, and just accept it. There really isn't anything you can do.
