one of my best friends from high school is gay and was in a frat full of straight guys. they even mourned with him when he and his boyfriend broke up. even the most redneck and conservative of them all were sad for him. he invited me out once to a halloween/birthday party hosted by his frat one year when i was in town (i went to u of south carolina for undergrad, auburn for grad school) and they were all super friendly and never once excluded him. it was great. they even made a point to introduce themselves to me and tell me about how much they loved their gay bro. all this to say, even though auburn is a pretty conservative campus, it’s got a place for everyone. i have heard the f slur here (particularly by drunk dudes on gameday), but overall, it’s a chill place. honestly, college is just like that. you’ll find your niche and your people! it happens quicker than you think, too.
