"I was hesitant about rushing because there's a stereotype of fraternities being hypermasculine, hyperstraight organizations."

I'm gay and in a fraternity and bring my boyfriend to parties all the time and my brothers always want to meet him, they are super supportive.

When sometimes a fraternity are more accepting of you than your blood family...

For a British person, fraternities and sororities are so foreign. They're SO American cos people get so passionate about them, almost patriotic. In Europe we're all just very cynical haha and frats just make us roll out eyes a bit

[buzzy]

When a fraternity is accepting and understanding or even willing to understand the LGBT community, now thats a good group of brothers for life. ❤

Fraternities seem extremely scary. Like they sound like cults. "My brothers" "Life lessons" "Pledge" "Accepted"

It's a good thing that the fraternities that these guys were in were very accepting of the fact that they are gay but I just want to let people know who may not know all the aspects of greek life. I know some people who had to leave their school because they got outed in their greek organizations. People need to know that whether you like it or not, there will be homophobes everywhere and sometimes, they could be the majority. It's your job to deal with it. It's sad but it's also very true and real.

How about make a video about being a straight male living in an average neighborhood.

It's really nice to hear stories about acceptance and support. It's getting better. Slowly. <3
