However, I can DEFINITELY understand how a member of a greek organization in a politically conservative area of the country would much rather stay in the closet then face the ridicule that would invariablly occur, which is tragic in my opinion. Especially because sorority sisters/fraternity brothers should support each other unequivocally.

Agreed. My big is a lesbian and my new member educator is also. Our chapter readily accepted this as fact and we even talked about relationship stuff with them like we would if we had boy issues. My big would bring her partner to date parties, formals etc. She was also chapter president and one of the greatest women I know.
It makes me so sad to know that you can stay in the closet, everyone will love you for you but that the one small detail of liking the same sex is enough to turn people off. Apparently we have no sexual orientation clause in our bylaws but I would hope that my sisters all over the country would know better than to turn someone down who would make a fabulous sister just because she's gay.
