Wolfman and many other posters gave you some great advice. SPEAK TO YOUR HUSBAND. This is new territory for the both of you. Remembering when I dated a guy while he was online for Omega, it is weird entering this 'new world'. Things he couldn't share with me when in the past he was always so open. It was hurtful but in time I got over it.

The key here is communication. In my opinion, your marriage is first.PERIOD. You have a made a covenant with God. With that being said, give him time to enjoy and get used to the newness. He may surprise you. Prayerful, there are brothers who can advise him how to navigate these waters. Communicate with your spouse your feelings and concerns but also as someone said, take the initiative and invite some of the other brothers and their wives over from time to time OR get to know some of the wives and hang out with them w/o hubby.

It does sound like this is more about you and he than it is about him joining a fraternity. Come to him in love and I am sure things will eventually work itself out.

Be blessed.

I am proud of his accomplishment, but can't help but feel like an outsider now.
