Greek rush is currently happening. 40% of Duke women and 35% of Duke men are Greek, but the gay community is significantly underrepresented in greek groups. I have gotten this question many, many times from freshman rushing. Which groups are the most and least accepting of gays and lesbians?

Fraternity and Sorority Life
Fraternities and Sororities can often be considered the least accepting groups on campus. Are you out to your frat? If so, how did it go? If not, what's holding you back?
I am personally out to my frat. They were overwhelmingly supportive when I told them. Their only demand was that I bring my boyfriend to date functions. They told me they'd be personally insluted if I didn't bring them and to be honest, I only did because of their encouragement. At the first function, it was a little awkward, but I could tell they went out of their way to make us both feel comfortable. We just went to my semi-formal. Now that its been done once, it was totally unawkward; it was just as comfortable as bringing a girl. I can say this experience was a surprise and something I thought I'd never be comfortable with, but I was wondering if other people had similar experiences.
