Here at Eastern Mich, I have heard really god things about greeks comming out in their org and really bad things too. We had one sister (my roomate) come out and even brought her g/f to formal. Some people were uncomfortable about it, but they wouldn't show it for the most part. Our Delt chapter also had a gay brother and he came out at a meeting and everyone was very accepting and understanding about it. One of the most popular greek girls on campus was a Phi Sigma Sigma and an out lesbian who actually was very active in our LGBT officeon campus. But DZ was a different story. A sister came out and while some sisters were very nice, others (who she lived in the house with) threw things at her, called her a dike, one even put a sign on her door that said "no dykes allowed". I would have to say tho, that it is very common to have a gay member in a chapter, closeted or not. When my roomate came out she and I were talking and she said she knew for a fact there was a lesbian or bisexual girl in every sorority on campus. 1 in 10 people are gay so look at the chances you have for that to be the case. I think it is really sad that they will kick him out. He is the same person they initiated, he just likes guys instead of girls, that's the only difference. If he wants, he can prolly stil be a member of his fraternity and join Delta Lambda Phi as well. It might help him out and give him the brotherhood he wants w/ppl who understand. I think he could be in both and DLPhi is an awesome org. I have many friends in it
