Fraternity Inequality

Fraternities also promote sex and gender inequality. The students who are members of the majority of the fraternities are all ‘straight’. We hardly see homosexual students as members of fraternities except those that are specially made out for them. This inequality exists as fraternities are focused on masculinity and give masculinity a lot of importance. Homosexuals therefore, are not considered ‘fit’ for the fraternity life and often face the same consequences of being eliminated in the rush procedure itself. 
Fraternities also often focus on females and how to attract them. Females are considered as objects of desire and pleasure and are not treated fairly. They are treated as targets and are spoken about as targets among the fraternity brothers.
