On November 4, 2010, two anonymous former members of the Vanderbilt chapter, an alumnus and a senior student, alleged they were evicted from the fraternity for being gay. If the allegations that individuals were expelled from BYX because of their homosexual orientation were true, then BYX could possibly be found to have violated Vanderbilt policies against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. According to the initial report in Vanderbilt's student newspaper, the "Hustler" (which first published the anonymous allegations), the BYX code of conduct prohibits homosexual activity by its members (along with fornication by heterosexual members).
