    Who wants to bet anti-gay groups will say their initiations involve lewd sexual acts and some other shit?

    I am definitely proud though of this university :grin:

    Speaking as a Brother of Sigma Epsilon Omega, a gay frat in the Bay Area, I can assure you that it's essentially the same as a straight frat. But with more v-necks, and our parties tend to have less beer and more mixed drinks

    the notion of fraternities/sororities is a little gay to begin with.

    a bunch of guys/girls living together in close quarters. Then you get into the stereotypes of pillow fights and spanking initations, and it only furthers the mystique.

    I lived at a (traditional, "straight") frat house for a year. Looking back and counting myself, there were as many closeted people there as straight guys.

    I'm sorry Emberstone, but I can't let even a comical jest like this just slip by. What about the notion of a Greek organization makes you think gay? If it's the close quarters, I don't see how you would make an excuse for the other dormitories on most campuses that have students jam packed into close quarters just as much. If it's not the close quarters, what is it? Also, what makes pillow fights gay? As for spanking, there ought to be no hazing in any Greek organization if they have their act right and consider themself a respectable group of young adults.

    I'm really very proud of the brothers that were able to get the beta chapter started up in Indiana. They took a rotten situation going down at their school, and were able to rally behind it and turn it into a wonderful opportunity for equality and acceptance.
