Being a Gay Greek?
Hi, Coconuts.
I can tell you that, as a collegian, I had several (male) friends in the Greek system who were gay. I don't know of any lesbians at my campus, but that could be because they just weren't open or I didn't know them...not that they weren't there.
One of the things I've learned is that every campus has a different culture and even more vastly different sub-cultures. What you like about the Theta women at your campus may not be the experience you have at another campus, and the same is true with other organizations.
Hopefully you have a broad choice of Greek organizations to choose from. What Amy said about the mutual selection process is true: You and Theta would need to be a match. Certainly, though, there's no reason to think that you need to hide who you are to be a Theta...or to be in any other organization. In fact, I hope you question any organization that doesn't accept you for who you are.
Your sexuality is merely one component of you as an overall person, and should be considered no more or less than what type of books you like to read and how committed you are to the organization's mission.
Good luck with recruitment.
