Cute guy from Mores For Gays (Daniel Leary) returns, and with a topic near to me! This go round, he's talking about the Gay Fraternity, Delta Lambda Phi, but I have to admit, this episode is a bit boring.
Unlike previous episodes, where Daniel provides helpful information and some thoughtful commentary for various situations a gay man may encounter in life, this episode acted more like an info-mercial for Delta Lambda Phi. Don't get me wrong, I think they are a great organization, but just because they are a gay-centric fraternity does not make them the only choice for young Gay and Bi boys.
I say this as a guy that is an Alumni of Phi Kappa Tau, a national social fraternity. I was out while in school, and open within the campus Greek community, and was honored to be lead my chapter in several different positions including chapter president. I'm not tooting my horn here, but what I am trying to get at is, as someone who's been there, there are plenty of good issues that could have been discussed here that were not.
For instance: How should a gay guy approach Open Rush? What questions should he ask in order to find out if the group is gay friendly, and can he do that without outing himself? What resources are out there for a gay fraternity man? How should a gay guy handle situations like hazing and recruitment? What should he expect out of a traditional social fraternity? How should he handle housing options?
Those are some of the things that a gay fraternity man could get to know to understand the Mores of fraternity life. I mean, from my experience, fraternity life was pretty gay anyway... but that's a whole post on its own!
