I'm gay, looking to join a southern fraternity... Help!

What a quick transition to an all out trainwreck! Love the claims of expertise about the South by someone who has clearly NEVER been to a southern state. SMH.

Clearly. That statement is as ludicrous as me saying NC is conservative. As far as I can tell, unless you have some great expertise that even the history books don't have, South Carolina is in the South. 21 years of being in a southern state. Now maybe you don't think South Carolina is a southern state. Or maybe you think its not "very" conservative. Or maybe you don't think it was the first to secede, or maybe you think it doesn't possess anti-civil union bylaws. Who knows. I love the claims about knowing that someone has clearly NEVER been to a southern state. SMH...

And that will be right. If you are going to sound like a pompous ass you should at least know what you are talking about.

Absolutely right, that would be unconstitutional wouldn't it. Correction, the state of SC will not recognize a civil union as a marriage. I can't believe SC thinks marriage is between a man and a woman, how ridiculous.

His point is that when you said this:

you show you don't really know what you're talking about. South Carolina doesn't have any bylaws. In this country, only organizations have bylaws.

South Carolina has a constitutional provision that says the state doesn't recognize same-sex marriages or civil unions.

Glad the education is working out for you.

Sir, you can regurgitate a list of southern states and a probable list of fraternities that may be popular at universities in those states, but that does not in any way make you an expert on the South. We can't be defined by a sum of our parts. I take it now that I read your name wrong and you're not from Southern California. I apologize for assuming otherwise, but I got you mixed up with the guy asking Alpha Phi to colonize at CSU-LA. You may know South Carolina, but what else do you know. I barely count USC as SEC anyway since it's not an original member so I don't count your opinion of what an "SEC" school would be like. Non-SEC southern schools are not all the same. Thank God. Have your own opinion, but realize that when people say that they KNOW gay men in southern fraternities...they know something that obviously you don't.
