I'm picturing the bad sitcom where you are sitting there during rush, screaming just to be heard by the girl sitting inches away from you, and just as you say I'M GAY the room goes quiet. The parties are much smaller after the first round or two, so at least THAT problem would be diminished. But be aware, the likelihood is you will befuddle the girl you're talking to, so mention it if you feel you must, but try to move on quickly. She doesn't have independent decision making authority so if it's an issue with the chapter, it will need to be discussed later. By bringing it up, you did your job. Then try to move on. If she wants to talk about it great, but remember, the rules of discretion still apply, so ladylike and no details that might be offensive to someone overhearing the conversation, and more than likely out of context.

Oh, definitely. Trust me, my anxiety-fueled brain has enough sitcom scenarios already thought up. From what y'all have said, I think if I went to a liberal school I could just assume acceptance and not make a big deal about it, because I wouldn't want others to make a big deal out of it.
From looking around, it seems like University of Minnesota is pretty accepting and has a greek system (also I have family up there). Does anyone know anything about the climate at that school?
