Frats offer no shortage of mythology, from extreme hazing to wild parties to closeted hookups. But the reality is much different, of course. Well, usually.
Below, get a window into the gay frat experience through Whisper.
We’d definitely like the expanded version of a few of these stories:

If you think coming out means you will be welcomed with love, acceptance, and open arms by the gay community, I suggest you read the comments in this and other gay blogs and see how many gay men treat each other. I know many of us thought it would be and were disappointed by the reality. Don’t burn all your bridges.
And don’t get me wrong–I’m not for living a lie, but coming out to them in particular and losing what you have with your fraternity brothers may not be the answer you think it is. Besides, college doesn’t last forever. Enjoy your college experience. It’s a great time.

@markgtx11:
Your advice seems wise.
At least establish an alternate social group (a gay one makes sense), before coming out to your potentially hostile current group.
Also come out to the person most likely to accept you first. Now you have an ally.

What did my bros do when they found out I’m bi?
Other than dub me Mo Bro, not a thing.

Life is better on the outside of the closet, come out when you are ready.
