My boyfriend and I are both in fraternities and we couldn't have been more loved and accepted by everyone in both frats when we both came out. We really are moving in a better direction in this country on this issue! I'm glad to see people coming around

I am super happy to hear that this topic is FINALLY being talked about. Thank you, Jacki, for being willing to shine some much-needed light on this part of Greek life. It is way more common to be LGBT and in Greek life than people have been able to see. I know for me, I was one of the first women to come out on my campus at Kennesaw State Univeristy, while being a DPhiE and the President of Panhellenic on our campus. However, once it occured many more have come out since. I feel this had made our sorority community so much stronger. So thank you for showing other campuses and greek life individuals that its is common and than it can be okay.

"It's not the two of you in two different worlds , it's half of you trying to sustain two identities, which is emotionally, physically exhausting. If you are not yourself , you can never be the person you wanna be." So true.....you just described how it feels like everyday. It kills sometimes not being able to give 100℅ of yourself....

Dearest Jacki, I was a local chapter advisor for an NPC sorority for 13 years and wish I'd had your words to guide me, as I fumbled with saying the "right" thing. I fancied myself an open-minded person, until confronted with the reality that the women I was advising were no different (as far as their sexual identity) as any other women in college. Ultimately, I said "we share values and Sisterhood, and all I want is for all of you to have relationships that are worthy of you as the amazing woman you are, regardless of who your partner is." Trust me, it wasn't at all eloquent. Thank you for your courage and please know you have an ally in FL. Fraternally yours, Michelle

She is. The documentary is called Now This Is Living, just like her KZbin channel.

I am a member of a sorority and fortunately I am not closeted and I am hoping it will be more and more accepted.
