I should add that this particular man is gay. He's friends with a couple of my sisters, and seems like an all around super nice guy. I can't speak to his reasons for rush, but I don't know how it will affect him if he doesn't get pledged somewhere. I (individual I) don't have any say in the bidding of members this year (See signature!) so I guess I'm just curious as to the ramifications of this. One of my reasons for joining a sorority was to find positive female peers, and to find really smart strong women to bond with. I don't know if this guy can relate to this...

There is no co-ed on this campus, and i'm sure there would be a market for this at Otterbein as well. I don't know if that would be the way for him to go, or what. He is being "strongly encouraged" to go through fraternity recruitment, and many of our fraternities are very accepting and understanding.

I'm sure the alums will have something to say about this, but there really isn't time to discuss this with them! We're ending in 2 weeks, and then we come back after new years and *BAM!* recruitment time again. As a PX, I don't know how I will advise him in a group or what...if he ends up in my PX group, it's going to be interesting seeing how the girls react to him. I just want the kid to be happy and find a good house...but i'm not sure this is the way to do it.
