So I am not closed minded, thank you.

I know that personally, I am just as comfortable around my male friends as around my female friends -- in some cases more so. I'm sure I'm not the only one. The possibility that they might be attracted to me doesn't affect my comfort level at all. In fact, I know that some of them are attracted to me, but that doesn't bother me because they know better than to think something will happen. And that would be the same with any lesbian who might happen to pledge a sorority -- she knows better than to hit on women she has no chance with, i.e. straight women.
Out of curiosity, does your viewpoint mean that if one of your sisters came out to you, you would advocate kicking her out of the sorority because you wouldn't feel comfortable with her anymore?
That said, I have to admit that I would be conflicted if a lesbian PNM wanted to pledge Tri Delta. While it wouldn't be as bad as it might be at some campuses, it would definitely raise some eyebrows and lower some numbers here. There is the possibility that it could be the "kiss of death" for any sorority that takes her. And I'm not sure that I would be willing to actively lead to the death of my sorority like that . . .
But because of the way Greek life is seen around here, and the Greek/independent split, it's very unlikely that an "out" lesbian PNM would come through rush.
