  Fraternities and sororities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the case of fraternities and sororities that have disaffiliated from a national organization, the Greek letters chosen for the name of the organization are often a derivation of the previous name (for example, Phi Tau is the former Tau chapter of Phi Sigma Kappa) and thus the name bears no special secret meaning.
Ironically, that education was responsible for the name—most students were well-versed in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew; Phi, Beta, and Kappa were the initials of an esoteric Greek motto.
Due to their predominantly single-sex memberships, Greek organizations (particularly fraternities) and their members are sometimes portrayed in comedies as being homosexual or homoerotic in nature.

 The Biblical Source of Western Sexual Morality
Greek culture and the 'Greek mind' is popularly associated with the Apollonian, that is, with reason, order, balance, and decorum; Greece is not commonly associated with the Dionysian, with passion and chaos.
Greek mythology, no less than the mythology of ancient Babylon, was populated by promiscuous gods who copulated constantly not only with one another but also with humans.[35] There is the scene in Book VIII of the Odyssey, for example, in which Mars makes a cuckold of Vulcan.
Such was the connection of choas and civic religion in the Greek polis.[63] Moreover, homosexuality served the purposes of mysticism, freeing the contemplative from the limitations and particularity of his sexual identity.

 People With a History: Paul Halsall: Homosexual Eros in Early Greece (1986)
The Greeks were living before either a sin or medical model of homosexuality and while aware of differing inclinations did not consider these important enough to establish a separate social category.
Greek convention decried the passive partner in penetrative intercourse and we may assume that both partners took care that their private pleasures were not made public.
It is useful to recall that Greek morals were concerned with what was known not what was done and unlike cases such as dishonouring a guest there was no divine sanction against sexual pleasures, which indeed the gods seemed to enjoy in abundance.

Greek cuisine and plenty of sex help to ensure a long and healthy life, and to keep cancer and heart disease at bay, a cancer expert said on Tuesday.
A Greek diet -- with plenty of fruit and vegetables all year round and olive oil instead of butter and lard -- was the best way to keep a range of cancers at bay, while the sturdy diet of northern Europe was like a ticking bomb, Willett said.
Willett said the cancer risk of being overweight was almost as bad as smoking, especially for cancer of the colon and kidney cancer as well as for post-menopausal breast cancer, adding that even the slightest hint of a beer-belly was a cause for concern.

"The Greek system is a relic of a bygone age that was created to nurture individuals to be leaders of an exclusive society and to unify an elite class, but the world has moved on and (this decision) is long overdue," Kartalopoulos said.
Neelu Jain '99, who said she supports the Trustees' initiative, foresees a reduction in the current disparity between members of Greek organizations and those who remain unaffiliated in the face of a new social structure.
Emphasizing relationships that she believes the Greek system may leave unexplored, Jain said, "When you align yourself with a house, you become sidetracked to meeting a certain kind of person.

 Sha - "The Uses and Abuses of Historicism: Halperin and Shelley on the Otherness of Ancient Greek Sexuality" ...
When Davidson argues that Greek penetration was not always honorable and that the active role was not "always assigned positive manly values" (29), he introduces a significant gap between a sexual act and its gender implications.
Nonetheless, the fact that the Greeks could interpret sex acts between ejaculating males in terms of the desire of a man seeing another man as a member of the female sex means that they were not as other as Halperin maintains.
Halperin baldly states that "the Greeks understood sex itself to be defined entirely in terms of phallic penetration, regardless of whether the sexual partners were both males, both females, or male and female" (147).

 The Dartmouth Free Press : In Defense of Exclusion
To assume that single-sex Greek houses are necessarily evil because they are exclusionary is to vastly oversimplify the issue.
The problem with single-sex Greek organizations, then, is not that they exclude, but that they exclude in ways that contradict the bigger, College-sanctioned rule of exclusion: the exclusion of intolerance.
And this realization leaves single-sex houses with some wiggle room: it is not their existence that is threatened, but the existence of institutionalized and morally arbitrary exclusion and what that perpetrates, that the College seems to be attempting to eradicate.
