I understand what you're saying - but I basically WAS Keldon before I joined my sorority... well, except for the gay male part...
I really was not a fan of the Greek system, I refused to go through formal recruitment for two years even though my mother really tried to get me to, and I talked more smack about sororities in general and even (eeeek!) about Kappa than I care to remember. I was fully convinced that I was too cool for a sorority, too individual and unique and creative to ever fit in with a big group of snobby preppy girls - becasue that's what I thought they were. I even had FRIENDS in sororities and I was still convinced that they weren't for me. It took one of my best friends weeks of convincing to even get me to agree to come to dinner at the Kappa house, and even then I came only for the promise of free food.
So I think you still have to give people a chance... a lot of people are just really ignorant about what a sorority/fraternity really is all about...
Oh yeah, and the gay thing really isn't an issue at my school either, I don't think. I know a couple of openly gay guys in fraternities, and it's not a big deal. Maybe with some fraternities, but generally not so much.
