Ohio IFC Admits Gay Fraternity
From the Ohio University Post...
"OU first to admit progressive fraternity into IFC"
"Ohio University this year became the first university in the nation to admit a Delta Lamda Phi chapter, a national gay, bisexual and progressive men's social fraternity, into its Interfraternity Council.
The fraternity started at OU in 1996 and has been working to become part of IFC for a couple years, OU Delta Lambda Phi President John Hall said.
IFC members saw no problem with admitting Delta Lambda Phi.
'We didn't really see any negative aspect by letting (Delta Lambda Phi) in,' Lambda Chi Alpha President Mike Miller said. 'By adding another chapter, we're making the Greek community stronger.'
The council showed it was open-minded when admitting Delta Lambda Phi, Hall said. OU chapter's admitance could start a trend for universities across the country.
Hall said he commended the support Delta Lambda Phi received from the students and members of the Athens community."
