advise needed . . .

[a.e.B.O.T.]

Well, everyone has their own reason for joining a fraternity, some being a little more valid then others. The fact is, we initiate men who live up to the values and standards of Beta Theta Pi, and I do not remember it talking about homosexuality. Initiating someone should be not be decided based on whose going to be comfortable at date parties, because thats not what its all about, and if you cant create a bond with someone because of who he likes, well, then I sure hope your not a Beta.

What is the advantage of having a diverse or in your case extremely diverse chapter?
-Its not about being 'diverse.' People dont set a minimum quota on the member of gay men, or black men, or etc, that they give bids too. Its about being open to gay men being apart of the fraternity experience. They can socialize with sororities and fraternities just as well as straight men, and most cases better. In rush, they can get alot more sorority girls to help. At Date parties, if its with a sorority, well, they dont have to attend, or they can, but they, im pretty sure, are going to be aware of the situation. My chapter has the gayest of gays and the straightest of straights, and once both sides gave the other a chance, they all had a much happier experience.
