I come from a southern chapter so maybe I'm a bit conservative, but let me ask you this, if you are letting in gay guys then what is the point of your chapter? Letting in gays has nothing to do with the point of our chapter. The point of our chapter is not 'to not let in gays'. The point of our chapter is to dominate grades, athletics, student body...etc. It has nothing to do with being gay.
-You seemed to have overlooked the social aspect of the chapter. I can understand the sense of pride from finishing high in grades and athletics but we're talking about a social fraternity. If you wanted to join an organization for the grades then why did you not join an honors fraternity?
What do you do when it comes time for semiformal/formal and other date functions. Do your brothers bring guys? We all bring dates. Some hetero guys go solo, most bring female dates. Gay brothers can go solo, or bring a date. We don't discriminate, so it's not a big deal.
-Alright, the fact that any of your guys are going solo tells me that your chapter sucks. If you have guys among your ranks that can't at least find a date (not even to hook up, just a date) then you're pathetic. But besides that, can you honestly sit there and watch one of your fraternity brothers dance with another male and feel just peachy about it?
Do you ever mix with sororities? How do they feel about the fact that you have openly gay guys in your chapters? Yes, all the time. They don't care, why would they? They're gay, so it's not like they're trying to get in the sorority girls pants. If anything, they're more annoyed by 18 year old freshman who have never 'seen it' before...
-I have nothing legitimate for this one. However, is the average weight of the sorority under 150?
If you believe that having gay men in your chapter is not a detriment to rush then you're kidding yourself. Why do you think the average guy joins a fraternity? The answer is to go to parties and meet girls, (not to learn what ideals by which he should live his life. If you have to join an organization to learn these ideals then your parents wasted about 18 years raising you). I bet a gay guy can get a girl faster than you, so if anything, they would help rush - at least on the girl scene. And, I wouldn't want guys in my chapter that cannot accept diversity. Geez, next thing you're going to say is that you can't have Jewish members, or Latino's...etc.
-You bet a gay guy can get a girl faster than I can? Seriously? When you say get a girl do you mean talk to one. If so, you're probably right but if you mean have sex with a girl then I'm going to go ahead and say that I could do it faster. Hold on. Seriously, hold on. You believe that gay guys help in rushing straight guys? Let me ask you one more question. How does diversity help your organization. Does it make you closer, because you're all different?
Why would any respectable straight guy want to join a group that actively supports having gay members. Is that going to hurt or help his chances of getting laid? I'm going to say 'hurt.' A '
respectable straight guy' won't give a shit if there is a gay member in the fraternity he joins. And, getting laid is not the point of being in a fraternity.
-Yes it is.
So, I've answered your questions. Now, you need to re-think why you went greek, if you did at all. If its about discriminating and just getting ass, you're a real loser and maybe someday you'll reanalyze your thoughts when you find out your blood-brother is gay - and I sure as hell hope you're not a Beta.
PS, why so anonymous? Post your chapter and roll number....yeah, that's right, I didn't think so. Only cowards post this shit on the internet.
-Fuck no I'm not a Beta. I saw this thread because it was linked from another website. This thread is so gay that it has another thread in the other forum dedicated to making fun of it.

The thread is entitled Beta Theta Pi under Schools/Frats. Congratulations, this may change your life.
