I have to say ... I would be very unhappy if my chapter refused a girl a bid solely because she was a lesbian. That said, if a chapter wants to exclude gays, that is its business, whether or not it's in the ritual.

We all know that despite sharing one ritual, not every chapter of a GLO is the same, and they look for different things in members. We turn down people for membership because they (in our estimation) sleep with too many people, drink too much, are sticks-in-the-mud, play too many role-playing games, don't have enough social skills, are too snobby, etc. And not everyone agrees on what it takes to be too slutty or too drunk; the girl we reject your chapter may give a bid to, or vice versa.

So if UNF wants to reject potential brothers based on their orientation, that's his right. It doesn't mean I agree; it just means that if my values don't align with his, I should seek out another house to join.

Now if the majority of his brothers disagree with his stance, that's something the house has to work out for themselves.
