Article on Delta Lambda Phi's growth.

Fastest growing is so subjective--in chapters, colonies, members? In any case congrats to them.

that's so cool! some of the guys in one of the frats on our campus are homosexual, and the campus looks down upon them, and it's really sad! but props to those guys for breaking some stereotypes!!!

We have a chapter at WVU, and I know one of the brothers, but they are so small. It's for openly gay and bisexual men, and there is still such a stigma. Their pledge class was all of three men, and one depledged because he did not think he could bring himself to openly wear the letters because of the stigma. Still, really nice guys. They do have it together.

My school has a Delta Lambda Phi chapter also. I'm not sure how many guys they have now (last I heard they had like 10). They never really participated in much on campus in terms of Greek events.

I so totally agree with you.

I agree also.

But if any of those white males families were immigrants at any time, then I think they should go back to their own damn country.

I agree with you, too.

If I had to guess why they don't show themselves that much, it's because they are still in the process of establishing themselves. The grounds are still a little shakey.

And that said, all of those men I know in this fraternity are truly fraternity men.

Isn't the fraternity for openly gay and bisexual men? Being openly gay isn't part of the application process?

It's also for "progressive" straight men. Kind of a Gay-Straight alliance sort of mentality.
