We read about the hazing. I don't consider discrimination claims to be less important than hazing allegations. This article and this thread were simply presented as being more about more than "another hazing incident." Dropping because of hazing and then discussing the homophobia doesn't mean that the homophobia is the lesser of the two evils. Schools and national headquarters are fully capable of investigating more than one charge and holding chapters and individuals accountable for all of it.
We also stated that it isn't clear exactly what went on at the probate show and who was making the comments. However, the comments were made within the context of the fraternity so it isn't far fetched that it goes back to the fraternity. I've been to tons of coming out shows and the audience pretty much does what they consider to be appropriate for them to do. In the instances where audiences have done something that the fraternity or sorority would deem inappropriate, it was the task of the fraternity or sorority to restore respect and keep the peace if at all possible (which sometimes results in a fight).
I figure the fraternity in this instance provided the setting for him to be harassed for his sexual orientation and intentionally let it go from there. We shall see if that is the case.
