I'm sure there are gay people in many GLOs, but that doesn't mean there is one in EVERY chapter of EVERY GLO. If a chapter is down to four girls (and it happens), whether ten percent or three percent of the population is gay, it still means that the chapter is likely to be only straight women at that point, statistically speaking.

Add to that the fact that many "out" gay people either assume Greek life is not for them - and that some GLOs would not take an openly gay member - it is likely that there are at least one or two chapters in this nation without a gay member.

Of course, even the most rampantly anti-gay chapter can have a closeted member, and I've known several quite open bi or homosexual Greeks.

I'm not entirely sure what the point of this site is - is it to convince homophobic Greeks to accept gay members? Is it to encourage gays to go Greek? Is it to give gay Greeks a supportive environment? This doesn't mean I think it's a wrong or bad site - I just don't understand the appeal. Most of the gay Greeks I've known were proud to be gay, and proud to be Greek, but they weren't making a big deal out of being a gay Greek.
