Message-ID: <1089@bbncca.ARPA> Date: Thu, 1-Nov-84 02:07:03 EST Article-I.D.: bbncca.1089 Posted: Thu Nov 1 02:07:03 1984 Date-Received: Sat, 3-Nov-84 03:38:17 EST Lines: 32 Approved: sdyer@bbncca.ARPA <<>> I have a situation for the readers for this newsgroup to consider. Replies by either private mail or postings to this newsgroup (as appropriate) are acceptable. As many of you know, I find myself attending *the* most liberal and supportive university (next to Oral Roberts' famous den of inequity 8-} ) in the world. One of the situations that I find myself in which has the potential to become precarious is my membership in a social fraternity here at Purdue. Now, as everyone knows, fraternities are (in general) rather homophobic. (BTW, I didn't join here; I joined my fraternity when I attended Syracuse University in New York. . . I wasn't buying into homophobia there; although I wasn't out to the membership, it would not have been the tremendous sort of thing that it could be here..) I suppose what I'm looking for here is what others have experienced while they were members of social fraternities during their college hey-days... Did it get *really* ugly (to the point of losing one's membership, changing residence, etc.), was acceptance found, or what? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Henry C.
