Fraternal Masculinity Amid LGBT Justice

I wrote a thing this weekend and I forgot to share it with you all. My bad.

It is about the performance of masculinity in BGLOs, but I suppose could also apply to predominately white GLOs also. There are gay issues and trans issues discussed.

Maybe your chapter is just "being themselves" as you advised.

Or should people only be themselves when they agree with you?

Or maybe they are concerned about their image, which you posted is very important.

It was offensive. There is no getting around that. I just know that at my chapter, we always had to ask ourselves about our image. Every single day. The ADPis weren't thinking this. If I wore a shirt too tight or a skirt too short, there were girls around me to tell me that it would look bad. We now live in a world where everyone is hyper sensitive and to survive as Greeks, we DO need to be concerned about image.
