My theory is that LGBT students who seek to join a fraternity or sorority, do so knowing that despite the problematic culture of hazing, binge-drinking, and toxic behavior, will gain acceptance if they assimilate into this culture. One of my sources, Guyland, explains the behavior of why men in general join fraternities: to feel validate by their peers in order to transition from boyhood to men. Some terms and phrases that I see in this book are also referenced in my other sources such as: masculinity, homophobia, binge-drinking.
