I don't high five, my flatulence is reserved for the proper time and place, I've never wasted a single minute watching the NFL, and I'm such a gentle lover they call me The Napkin.
I don't want anybody to think I act straight - I definitely do not, heaven forbid. What's the big problem with that, other than sounding incredibly stilted and judgmental and reliant upon fishy stereotypes?

This is hysterical. Best of GreekChat, I'd say.
Unrelated to KSigRC's humor, can anyone speak to whether guys use legacy forms in any meaningful way? I know that being a legacy isn't a guarantee of anything at all, but with the NPCs, there are forms to officially notify the chapter of your family's connection to the group without having to name drop. Do guys use those or do they tend to backfire, in a "if you were a legacy who mattered, we'd know about you already" kind of way?
I know it's not UNC, but I was recently talking to a former student of mine who is currently at UGA: I think in the context of his involvement on campus, I asked him if he was interested in rushing, and he said that although there were closeted or semi-closeted guys in most groups, that it was more rare for guys to be out, especially in the most traditional groups.
On a lot of southern campuses, the most traditional groups are often regarded as being the strongest groups. So perversely, the OP may find himself in a bind that the groups that most appeal to him in terms of reputation are likely to be the very groups that are most likely to reject based on orientation.
