Being in a sorority while being gay

[jenidallas]

My little is gay and I knew that in college, even thought she was not out and tried hard to hide it (it was west Texas in the early 90s) but we always accepted her for exactly who she was.

In my organization, I have known collegians in other chapters who were out (bi and gay) who have held leadership roles (even chapter president) and were completely accepted . I think the key is that these women shone for their personalities and their interests and the strengths they brought to the chapter, not for their sexual orientation.

So be proud, but don't be loud... that would be my take away. Who you date or are interested in dating should not be a topic of conversation for recruitment anyhow, gay or straight.
