Frat guys gay
We’ve got a couple gay guys in our chapter. And tbh, gay frat members are FaF. They bring hella girls to the parties and set up the guys with 10/10s for formals and date parties. Idk how it is in Arkansas but if the guys there know what’s good for them, having a gay guy in the chapter is so clutch. “I tried to hook up with him at a frat party a few months ago, but he started twerking, if you know what I mean!” I knew exactly what she meant.
Bold. Fearless. Flourishing. Tap into L.A.’s. As the first fraternity founded by openly-queer men for men and nonbinary collegians of all sexualities and identities, Delta Lambda Phi has a legacy of working toward justice and building inclusive community. The camp director delivered a grave lecture.
One in 10 people are gay, he cautioned. That means there’s likely one person in this very bunk who is gay, he said. Being gay in a fraternity has not been the easiest experience. I joined Alpha Epsilon Pi as a wandering, socially inept freshman. I was at lunch at Hillel and one of the brothers of the fraternity, a fellow psychology major, took an interest in me.
As the first fraternity
The problem is, as indicated on the title of this thread, I am not particularly…fond of women in a way that heterosexuals are. So, just to give more information as to what I should do, I will tell you a little bit about myself and the reasons of why I want to join. For instance, I absolutely adore shopping and I love going to the salon. I always take care of my appearance such as making sure my hair is perfect all the time and I do put on moisturizer as well as concealer and maybe some bronzer and powder as well just to create flawless skin which is important for even straight guys to do.
I love the fashion industry and I enjoy shopping at designer boutiques like Louis Vuitton, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Burberry. I even have a subscription to Vogue. In fact, I want to point out that even the straightest and most masculine of fraternity members do have a slightest bit of a fashionable trait inside them since they sometimes wear Ralph Lauren polo shirts, am I right? Anyways, continuing, I do have a very noticeable lisp and I do have a very slim build with no athleticism at all.
Trust me, it sounds like I should join a sorority instead. I do want to mention that I absolutely do not cross-dress, I have never cross-dressed before, nor would I ever do such a thing. I believe that I should also mention that I have never really partied before in high school, and I know that partying is a main event for many social fraternities.
I am willing to give it a try and the whole partying scene does sound quite enticing to me, though, I will always keep myself in check when it comes to alcohol. I heard that going Greek is something that is incredibly fun, enjoyable, and worthwhile. Based on what I found while researching, I will benefit so much from the Greek life and the positive things from my college years will continue after undergraduates, such as having connections for the rest of your life, which is a very good thing.
Also, the bonds that I would create with my fellow charter members would be quite special since we do consider each other brothers. This is why I am hoping that I have at least a tiny chance of having something in common with fraternity members so I can experience this sort of friendship with them. I really do want to be part of the Greek system and have a good time during my college years as well as being part of a brotherhood that I know will last forever and ever.
So, if there is anybody out there who is already a Greek member, has been a Greek member, or knows the ins and outs about the Greek system, please help me out. There is nothing about greek life that prohibits homosexuals from joining so whether or not you are welcome is going to depend entirely on the chapter itself. Someone i know wanted to join a frat, spent time with them, but decided not to rush, just assuming that it would be too awkward bringing a guy over or whatever.
I will say, as someone who attends a school with a large Greek presence who is therefore pretty familiar with the Greek culture, that my instincts are not good on this one. But, a lot of this depends on what your school is like. For me, having high grades was important. Also, I definitely judged them on how they dressed.
I felt like I would click more with the guys I dressed like… and I was definitely right. On top of that, I had a friend that was friends with one of them that came out last year. The fraternity was completely accepting of it. I clicked with these people. There should, hopefully, be a frat on campus for you too! I know a gay friend of mine, that was kind of like you, rushed the same fraternity but did not get a bid.
If you want to be friends with them and hang out with them all the time and can actually participate in their conversation, go for it! At the same time, you can get a fraternity feeling in a lot of activities on campus.
