How do u feel about gays and lesbians joining a greek letter organization?

I saw this topic on another board and felt that this would be an interesting topic to discuss:

Would u offer membership into your organization if an interest were gay or lesbian? Why or why not?

Here is a thread in which this was already discussed:

http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...ght=homosexual

Since that thread was closed, I will post my opinion and keep going.

I am a gay black man who happens to be an Alpha. Real Brothers neither expect nor demand that I change. Alpha chose me for who I am and what I bring to the table.

Some of my Brothers would disagree, but there is no growth without dissension, now is there?

Sexual preference is not important, but what they will do for the organization is

I have no problem what so ever with homosexuals joining my organization. I would even go further and state that my fraternity (Sigma Phi Epsilon) have outlawed discrimination based on sexual preferences. In my eye, any chapter that discriminate based on sexual preference doesn't deserve the charter.

I personally don't care what someone's sexual preference is as long as they exhibit our principles.

What TheEptiome1920 said. Sexual orientation has nothing to do with dedication and integrity. Plus, if she'll remain active and remember the words and meaning behind the pledge, then it doesn't matter.

Fraternity vs. Sorority

Do you all feel that fratenities may have more of an issue accepting someone into their organization that was homosexual, then sorority members would

Or is it really hard to comment on?

From some of the things I have seen written on message boards, I would say yes. But the irony of it is, imo, that many frat members would be shocked at who their gay members are, because I would suspect that they are really DL. I know that my ex-brother-in-law's frat would be shocked that not only is he gay, but three of this LBs (out of ten) are, too.

this is my personal opinion and not that of the national bruh foundation.

i don't agree with it, so no i wouldn't endorse a homosexual into my frat.

Honesty is always the best policy.
