| We have 2 gay men in our Lodge, and it has never been an issue at all. Although this is Northern California where we are much more tolerant to such things than most. __________________

| No National Fraternities will prohibit gays from joining. I agree with all of the posters that it depends on two t A Rainbow in the Frat House: A Gay Man's Exploration of Greek LifeGoing to college for many is seen as very challenging and fearful, but for me, it was a great escape. Coming from a small rural town in North Carolina and being gay came with more challenges than one could assume. Moving to college was an adventure that was the beginning of finding people like myself, those who only saw people for who they are rather than their identity. On my first day at Virginia Tech, I immediately felt that everyone around me was so bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, eager to discover the mysteries of living amongst your peers as an adult. During the fall season, amongst move-in, the beginning of classes, football games, and meeting new people, everyone agrees that this power makes the air experience exciting. For me, even at some points, it was draining trying to keep up with all these events. However, I knew I was determined to find myself at a school that never seemed to sleep. During move-in, I settled into my dorm and immediately went into the common area to talk to as many people as possible; I was already pre-determined to find my society. However, finding a collective can take time | » GC Stats | Members: 329,722

| I agree, there are no chapters with open homosexuals on my campus, and we're probably one of the uppermost schools in the land for greek life....that organism said, regarding the comment of accepting a brother for who he is... I can see what you're saying if the brother comes out. However, if it is in the bidding/pledging process, he's not my brother anyway. |

| Bo being gay and greekWhile Unger, Pyle and McManigal are proof of “LGB” individuals in the Greek system, the “TQA+” component seems to be lacking, according to Pat Tetreault, the director of UNL’s LGBTQA+ Resource Center. She said the biggest issue currently is that the system is not designed for those who don’t recognize on the gender binary. There are sororities, such as Alpha Chi Omega, that nationally allow transgender women to join. However, Tetreault said people who don’t identify with their given gender, or any gender, run into legal issues. Under the Trump administration, they have to prove they’ve gone through a physical transition by providing a form signed by a physician. According to Campus Lgbtq+ fest, which provides guidelines for Greek houses looking to become trans-inclusive, an inclusive policy is one stating that self-declaration alone is sufficient. This means legal or medical documents are not necessary to check gender status. The information provided by Campus Pride and the LGBTQA+ Resource Center is important for everyone, but individuals and chapters have to seek out that information, Tetreault said.
