It's sort of interesting to think about. Maybe college guys were actually more homophobic in the early 1990s than in the 70s, which might be sort of plausible because of the 90s guys having grown up with perception of a gay/AIDS connection. Because as someone noted earlier in the thread, there have always been gays guys in fraternities; it's just a question of how out they could comfortably be or to whom. I'd expect more general acceptance of homosexuality today but wasn't entirely surprised by what my former student said because fraternity life has typically been pretty conformist at UGA at a lot of chapters.
I guess if the OP has the family background for a top chapter, maybe his orientation won't be an issue at all.
