Has someone of the opposite sex ever tried to pledge to your chapter?

We're doing some research at UAA about the role of alternative lifestyles in Greek Life regarding gender, but as far as we know we've never had a man try to join a sorority, or a woman try to join a fraternity. So there aren't any rules about it either.

I'm double posting, but "alternative lifestyles" just rubs me the wrong way. That could mean so many things, like nudists, child free people, vegetarians, people who don't have cars, and so on. I can think of people in Fairbanks living in dry cabins as having an "alternative lifestyle" before I'd think of anyone Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, or Queer identifying. If you're talking about gender identity, sexuality, or anything like that, just say what it is you mean.

Oh, and is your research through a particular department or just for a class?
