I finally had the guts to come out to the first person in my fraternity. He was a good friend in my pledge class, so I was hoping he would be accepting. I wrote him a letter so that I could organize all my thoughts, and i gave it to him while I sat there. He seemed shocked from it, but was really accepting and was cool with it. He told me that that doesn't matter, and we are still going to remain close. He's the first friend I've told at college, and about the 4th person to know. I'm glad that I chose to come out to him first, and I'm glad how accepting he is. I'm relieved so I had to share!
That must be a great feeling! It's always hard coming out the first few times, and particularly in a fraternity where there's so much connection between your brothers, so it must be that much more fulfilling to have shared that with someone that's part of your day-to-day at school. Congratulations!!
Thanks for your words of support, one of the reasons I chose the fraternity I did was because of how well everyone got along. I know of different houses where partying is the biggest thing, but for my house it's the relationships we have; we truly are a brotherhood. And to anyone who is considering joining a fraternity, I urge you to at least look and you may be surprised by what you find!
AHAHAHA! Marvelous use of moviedom, just marvelous. I hope he was honored to be the first of your "brothers" to be told.
