Same goes for what followed in that sentence: ". . . so chances are each fraternity has at least one gay member whether he is out or not . . . ."

Even if 10% was accurate, which as you said it probably is not (statistics I have seen put it closer to 3-4%), that's the general population. You can't accurately take that percentage and assume it holds true in every sub-group of the general population, especially self-selecting sub-groups. Some sub-groups will have a higher percentage than the general average, and some will have a lower percentage.
