I am an openly gay Alpha and was OUT and proud before I was initiated.
If being part of a black fraternity wasn't really in your heart, then say that -- but don't say we're all homophobic because that just isn't the case.

wow, that was never the case at all...! And I'm sorry you feel that way. But remember YOU ARE the exception! not the reality. Of course we know all people in fraterntities are not homophobic! I know. And I did not mean to suggest that. I know gay people in black frats also, and they weren't out. And it is very very rare that you will find that. This is an issue that I have looked into for the past 3 years so I know a lot about it. And actually being part of a black fraternity was definitely in heart! for a very long time, however, I refuse to be part of an organization where I'm not welcomed or accepted. I would rather be me first or join a frat where I'm welcomed with open arms! Thanks
