Why would you assume they're all straight?
Gay/bi dudes are interesting enough unique people to not have to pay for friends by joining a dumbass fraternity
Honestly I assume anyone that joins a fraternity is some type of quasi-sentient NPC incapable of thinking for themselves
Oh, c'mon now. People are individuals. You're not really doing anyone any favors with these broad generalizations. Not all non-straight men are interesting, and not everyone who joined a fraternity is an NPC incapable of thinking for themselves. You can't just take a massive group of people like that and treat them as if they're all the same.
I know plenty of interesting straight men capable of thinking for themselves, and none of them ever joined a fraternity
Actually there is very much an overrepresentation of queer men in fraternities, and even more in fraternity leadership. During my undergrad I'd say about 20% of fraternity men were queer. From talking to other fraternity men across the country, that number seemed to be pretty universal. If you start looking at Executive board members that number starts to rise to probably 30-40%.
Don't get me wrong, lots of things about fraternities are disgusting, and I am not sure they deserve to exist TBH. But they are often a refuge for awkward closeted gays.
I've got to imagine the societal pressure amongst kids now is far greater than it used to be, what with cameras and the internet everywhere.
Not to mention that most of them just aren't getting anywhere near the education they should be. They're dumb and scared, and they should be considering the state of the world they're going to live in.
