At Vanderbilt University, a fraternity threw rocks at the float of a gay student group. But most familiar with the issue tend to believe those incidents reflect only a small minority of greeks. As decades have passed, homosexuality is something that has become more accepted and public within the community. There have been no documented instances at the University of that magnitude of egregious discrimination. But several in the community are vaguely aware of persons who've left their fraternities because of homosexuality.
Tolerance depends on the chapter.
It's great that there are chapters that really don't care, which is the way it should be. But I can't say all chapters are like that. I think sororities feel that way, but I don't think all fraternities do. But even that is a step forward from his days in the closet. For all the progress he sees, the only thing that concerns Windmeyer is the threat of a major national hate crime that will thrust the issue into the intense glare of public scrutiny.
