I'll just add this... I know a LOT of lesbian and gay men, family, friends, former co-workers and classmates... I have never heard one of them refer to themselves as "queer," unless they are joking around. Maybe things are different in Texas...
Lovely Kappa ladies... enjoy! :-)

One of my education profs from college is gay, and he prefers "queer".

Queer is coming back into fashion in a "we're taking it back" sort of way, it pretty much means either an orientation or a gender expression that is non-heteronormative.
Anyway, I'm being good and not pouncing on the drama llama that this is. Except to say that a) go through recruitment and find out, b) if you're a member, HQ isn't going to not include you or kick you out for your orientation/gender expression, and c) read more before you post about this.

my gay guy friends call themselves queers, fags, you name it. Probably a northern thing.
Anyway, I agree with all the other posters. You cannot base what you want your membership to be on unless you've seen the chapter and you sound older so being in the South you might have a disadvantage.
Good luck.
