Unusual: Founded by "three elderly gentlemen"
I hope this doesn't degenerate, but my fraternity and every one I have heard about (except for that Banta guy who started a couple sororities) were started by college-age people - in most cases after some other GLO didn't take them.

From the DLP web site:
In Washington, DC, in October 1986, three elderly gentlemen established a trust to create a social fraternity that wouldn't discriminate based on sexual orientation; the donors regretted such an alternative organization did not exist during their formative years. As Trustee, Vernon L. Strickland, III, administered the founding of Delta Lambda Phi National Social Fraternity, creating its crest, selecting its mascot and designing its rituals. In April 1987, Strickland initiated 24 men into the Fraternity's Alpha Chapter-Delta Lambda Phi was born.
Since then, Delta Lambda Phi, a fraternity for gay, bisexual and progressive men, has become one of the country's fastest growing fraternities with chapters throughout the country.
