In Gravity Unified Theories all operators that are consistent with the local gauge and discrete symmetries are expected to arise in the effective low-energy theory. Given the absence of multiplets like 126 of SO(10) in string models, and assuming that B-L is violated spontaneously to generate light neutrino masses via a seesaw mechanism, it is observed that string theory solutions generically face the problem of producing an excessive $\nu_L-{\tilde H}$ mixing mass at the GUT scale, which is some nineteen orders of magnitude larger than the experimental bound of 1 MeV. The suppression of $\nu_L-{\tilde H}$ mixing, like proton longevity, thus provides one of the most severe constraints on the validity of any string theory solution. We examine this problem in a class of superstring derived models. We find a family of solutions within this class for which the symmetries of the models and an allowed pattern of VEVs, surprisingly, succeed in adequately suppressing the neutrino-Higgsino mixing terms. At the same time they produce the terms required to generate small neutrino masses via a seesaw mechanism.
