That's really sad that he'd be denied membership from the one fraternity because of his looks... but his decision to pursue only one fraternity certainly won't help him go greek...
I agree with the rest.... try to encourage him to look at all the fraternities on campus... he could be missing a better match....
Maybe you can also help him get to know more of the greeks on campus... might help some of these guys look past his exterior to the interior...and give him a chance... he obviously has some great qualities that make you consider him a friend
Loyally,
