I don't really know... mostly because I haven't thought about that particular context of recruitment before... whether or not one sex feels more uncomfortable because of any minorit status...
At UofT I'd say that the vast majority of recruitment is through friends or acquaintances, so the comfort level is based more upon the comfort level of groups of friends or acquaintances around the campus... and it also gives some insight into how chapters can evolve over time with regards to "minorities". As the campus community becomes more accepting and diverse, then recruitment will reflect that trend... a trend you can see played out over even the past two years.
