During his second year at K-State, Brett Currier decided he wanted to join a fraternity, but as an openly gay student, he was hesitant to join any of the houses on campus.
Currier, junior in biological and agricultural engineering, said that none of the traditional fraternities on campus had an official policy about homosexuality, and he wanted to be part of an organization that was more open to his lifestyle choice.

Is there any 'fraternity/sorority' house, where co-ed students share same room, take a bath in the same bathroom, etc.?
The Phanton Cornholer is about to strike, but no longer as the Phantom.
We had gay members. I don't see the point. Why start a gay fraternity when Lambda Chi Alpha is still around?
Well, that is the mark of a good fraternity.
How appropriate.
Let the all night show-tune keggers begin!!!
"Openly Gay"...I Phelta Thigh
When I was in a fraternity I was given $200 to go and get two strippers(prostitutes). I went to the ghetto and got two black whores for 60 bucks. Brought 'em back and tuned out they were dudes. I won't go into the ugly details , but let's just say a few of my frat brothers will never be the same. They were chased out of the party and I ended up pocketing $120. Good day for me, but needless to say I was never given that job again.
He could call it Phi Alpha Gamma...
no. You can't be a fraternity and be co-ed.
same with sororities.
although you could technically let them live in the house, or the aprtment
ROTF!!!
He can always go out to the Interstate and hang around the public toilets.
Great - put a bunch of sodomites in the same house. How many diseases will be spread through there? How long before an AIDS-ridden member complains how the homophobic policies of the Bush Administration are the reason for all the "hate" on campus??
"Thank you sir may I have another", takes on a whole new meaning...
Yeah you are right, but this will not be the good kind we all know from our misspent youths.
This was my reaction, too. I consider myself gay-tolerant and have gay friends, and my sense is that my college's frats (this, in the late 80s) probably all had the following:
1. a few openly gay members (albeit none who were agitators or the like); and
2. a few members who, whatever they were "then," are now living as gay.
None of the frats would have drummed someone out for being gay. If you were Richard Simmons-ey, you might not have gotten a pledge, but that would be because you were annoying as hell, which could be said of a lot of straight guys too.
Point is, I fail to see the good in a frat whose membership revolves around sexual orientation. Sounds like another effort at self-segregation, a la "the black house(s)," etc.
