Bascially... coming from a chapter that had a brother come out (and me being the one he was most concerned about)... it comes down to this: is he a good Brother? regardless of his personal sexual preference, "race", religion, age, creed, background, whatever...

In this case he was a solid Brother so I didn't care one way or the other... what has bothered me (being a Rush Chair) is those who would join the Fraternity as a way to challenge the stereotypical image that they hold... people that define themselves solely by their sexuality, race, colour, creed, or beliefs... before defineing themselves by their actions and character - I have no problem of "going to bat" to defend their character and worth to the Fraternity or Chapter.

I have absolutley no problem whatsoever with a Brother (or girl in a Sorority) that is of sound character... no matter what else may define them...
