It may be that he is jealous that you are moving on and making new friends before him. Not necessarily that he is jealous of greek life (although that may be it too) but that he's not sure he's going to be hanging out with you once you move into the house. He's probably nervous about starting college-like everyone else-and maybe was counting on you to be his buddy at school. He's scared that you are going to hang out only with members of the fraternity so his way of dealing with the situation is to talk negatively about fraternities-sort of a defense mechanism. You may be able to make him stop by having a conversation about it. Tell him it offends you to hear those comments and let him know that you'll still want to hang out once school starts. If you aren't into tallking about it maybe just make an effort to hang out with him and include him in things with the fraternity if you can. That may help the situation if he doesn't feel left out of the loop. Just my thoughts, hope it all works out!
