My fraternity doesn't let people in just because they want to be one of us/hang out with us, we have to want to be around them too.
Agreed. Maybe the gay guys I know are unusually stereotypical, but from my experience they wouldn't particularly like the fraternity atmosphere either. People should have the basic right to form bonds with those they feel naturally comfortable with, and it's not good for anybody to force the issue.
