I think you might want to re-evaluate both of these relationships.
Is there some reason that you feel you have to jump into a relationship right now? If you are not sure about this guy then wait. Get to know him better as a person and as a friend.
What EXACTLY is going on with your 'best friend'??? It sounds to me like something other than a platonic friendship is going on here. If you have romantic feelings for him OR he for you and you want to maintain the friendship you need to clear this up REAL quick, or you will lose it. It also seems that on some level you feel that you can not trust him. I think you have to listen to your gut if it is telling you that something is wrong, but make sure that it is not only because you WANT for the relationship with the frat brother to work out so bad.
Anyway, to summarize my advice I say take a step back and wait it out. Decide:
a. what exactly is your relationship with your friend
b. what level of trust fo you have for him
c. what level of trust you have for his frat bro
d. what kind of relationship you want with BOTH of these men- where do you want these relationships to go?
Good luck!
