[mod.motss] Gays and fraternities: do they mix?

Leo@bbncca.ARPA (11/01/84)

	I have a situation for the readers for this newsgroup to
consider.  Replies by either private mail or postings to this newsgroup
(as appropriate) are acceptable.

	As many of you know, I find myself attending *the* most liberal
and supportive university (next to Oral Roberts' famous den of inequity
8-} ) in the world.

	One of the situations that I find myself in which has the
potential to become precarious is my membership in a social fraternity
here at Purdue.

	Now, as everyone knows, fraternities are (in general) rather
homophobic.  (BTW, I didn't join here; I joined my fraternity when I
attended Syracuse University in New York. . . I wasn't buying into
homophobia there; although I wasn't out to the membership, it would not
have been the tremendous sort of thing that it could be here..)

	I suppose what I'm looking for here is what others have
experienced while they were members of social fraternities during their
college hey-days...  Did it get *really* ugly (to the point of losing
one's membership, changing residence, etc.), was acceptance found, or
what?
