Oh, c’mon now. People are individuals. You’re not really doing anyone any favors with these broad generalizations. Not all non-straight men are interesting, and not everyone who joined a fraternity is an NPC incapable of thinking for themselves. You can’t just take a massive group of people like that and treat them as if they’re all the same.

This is genuinely so strange to me. I wouldn’t generally mind that one has to somehow prove themselves to be able to join but just to humiliate other because it’s something you had to endure few years earlier makes no sense to me and I don’t want anything to do with a club that does that. I’m far more likely to find likeminded people within the group who chose not to join for the same reason.
Why would you assume they’re all straight?
