I consider every man that is a member of SAE a "brother" in the sense that they are members of my fraternity and have accepted the responsibility of being a member of my fraternity.
I honestly don't concern myself with SAEs that I don't know. Sure, I'll treat them the same I would anyone else, but I wouldn't consider them in the same category as the men in my chapter whom I have grow close with and built long lasting friendships and relationships with. If I met Joe Blow from a chapter of SAE 3000 miles away, I probably wouldn't go around introducing him as my "fraternity brother". To me, my fraternity brothers are those that I pledged with and that I am with in the same chapter. Even when we go back home for holidays and such and I see friends that are SAEs at different schools.......I don't go around calling them my fraternity brothers.
If there are SAEs that are gay......I honestly don't really care. That is their choice. I consider them a brother in my fraternity just as I would any other brother that I don't know.
