In recent weeks, I have noticed several forumites mention fraternal associations during their college years. I asked myself, "Self, do you suppose these forumites would be interested in telling of their college fraternity days?" And my nosy self said, "Why, yes, I believe they would." So, while we wait the arrival of new vids, and between posts on the glories of Paris, and while we remember and share the pain of lost friends, how about we share some interesting moments from our wild and wooly ( or even hairless) days at the old Alma Mater.
My story begins in lonliness, but ends quite differently. I was approached to join Lambda Chi Alpha in the fall of 1979, while attending CSU, Sacramento. I was told that being a brother would lead to all sorts of new things, friendships,adventures, and memories to last a lifetime. I had recently broken up with my first real BF, and wasn't really looking, since I was busy wallowing in misery and the english classics, but I figured, hey, free beer, what the hell! So, ok, I'll check it out. Short version, I became an Associate member in the fall of 79, and went thru Ritual just before Thanksgiving of that year.
I spent two years as an active brother, lots of parties, new friends and even a couple of quickies with other bro's, (bro's before ho's they used to say!)
I graduated, became an alumnus, and moved on with my life. Flash forward to 2001. By this time, I am a foster father to several young boys, and spending most of the little free time I have, online in a site called Gay Dads. I met several interesting characters, and in the course of PM's, I get a sneaking suspicion about one of them., But, what are the chances, I mean, really? So I ask , " Were you ever in a fraternity?" "Yes, you?" "Yes, which one?" "Lambda Chi, why?" "Shut the Fuck up!. Me too". "Serious? Blah Blah" Turns out he joined in 1980, at UNM. One thing led to another, and eventually, I sent him a plane ticket so he could visit.
At the airport, I recognize him from a photo, but do not reveal who I am, just stand there watching him search for me. After 15 mins or so, he's looking for his cell phone and my number, walks up to me and asks if I can help him remember a number, I say "sure, what is it?" He proceeds to read me my number . Then he opens his phone to dial it, gets it wrong, asks me, and I tell him the number, adding his name at the end of the sentence. He says thanks, starts to redial, stops, looks up and starts grinning. I knew I was gonna marry him right then. I did. Three different times! (Just to make sure it was legal, here in california)
Brothers who became friends. Friends who became lovers. Lovers who are brothers. The circle is complete.
I am happy, always,
