It's normal for straight folks to have gay friends here and there...but being in a fraternity surrounded by them? I don't think we are going to see too much of that, no matter how progressive they are.

I wish them luck, I just hope none of the chapters have the issues we have in many APhiO chapters...where both straight and gay relationships get in the way of brotherhood.

Yeah I understand, though if they truly become the "anti-fraternity" on a campus that has a lot of stereotypical fraternity guys, I can see potential. I know several guys who never rushed because they didn't like the fraternity mentality on their campus. An alternative would have been nice.

Sadly the fact that many guys see "Gay" as a communicable disease or meaning that any gay man will be staring at the straight guys asses all the time means that you're likely right.

I wish them luck too.

I think it's awesome!

And oh man, wouldn't they be THE fraternity to have socials with?!

There's a chapter at Iowa State (still considered a colony by IFC) that has 8-9 men, I believe. They participate in the same campus events all the other fraternities participate in (Greek Week, Homecoming, VEISHEA, etc..)

I say this every do often, but here goes again:

Good for them! But not for me. :)

I was thinking the same thing! My bestfriend is a gay man and let me tell you..having a gay bestfriend is awesome! Think...Rupert Everett in My Bestfriends Wedding!

They do have it together.

This is a shame to say, but I really doubt that Delta Lambda Phi will ever really take off at WVU. I've been there, I have friends that go there, hell, my mom works there (at the hospital) and I can tell you for a fact the atmosphere is not supportive of alternative lifestyles.

You are more likely to see a rebel flag than a rainbow one.

I wouldn't date a man who is in a gay fraternity.

Slightly off topic
 
I find myself hella attracted to bi and gay men at times. I'm obviously in the minority. HC many women don't like to date bi men? Men like to date bi women :)...unless it's someone like PrettyBoy/KAY10, because he doesn't like "freaks".

I guess I'm weird too ... it wouldn't bother me a bit. My fiance is straight, but it wouldn't have been a dealbreaker for me if he was bi. Dealbreakers are things like lying, cheating, being generally an idiot, etc. Thinking guys are hot - that's okay, I do too :D
