Gay Frat Brings New Meaning To Brotherhood

Vanderbilt University is welcoming a brand new gay fraternity to campus, following a November meeting of the International Fraternity Council. The dean sent a letter to Delta Lambda Phi, offering them the chance to have a chapter at Vandy.

Delta Lambda Phi, standing for “Don’t Like Females,” was established in 1986 and has been a welcoming community for gay, bisexual, and progressive men since its conception. DLP’s founding purposes include promoting a strong and positive image, achieved mainly through dressing impeccably.

Ten guys signed up for the initial rush—“enough for a decent orgy”, said one prospect. The frat will only be a colony for now, but hopes to become a full chapter by the end of next academic year. As such, the frat won’t start out with a house, but has grand plans for a shag pad in the future. The house is going to remain simple and masculine on the outside, but the inside is going to look as fabulous as you’d expect from a house full of interior decorators. A subtle blend of bright colors will complement tasteful modern décor, and the newest trends from Martha Stewart will all be represented. And of course, there will be no closets built in; there’s no need for hiding at DLP.

Delta Lambda Phi is expected to be exactly the same as any other IFC frat, with one key exception: they will dress better. While tacky pink clothes have been a staple of frat-tire forever, DLP takes pink where it has never gone before. Members will seek to uphold an even higher standard of dress, requiring not only nice clothes, but outfits that coordinate completely from head to toe.

As far as social events go, DLP’s parties are just as welcoming to girls as guys, and even hope to attract a larger female attendance by creating a safer environment. Just be ready to BYOA—bring your own appletinis.

The only opposition to the establishment of Delta Lambda Phi at Vanderbilt is heard from girls, who are afraid of losing their shoulder-to-cry-on guy friends when they become more busy with frat activities. Indeed, DLP is very involved with community service. They have programs for tutoring underprivileged minority classrooms in flower arrangement and a “fashion police” service that helps reform fashion crimes.

Expect to see DLP grow at Vanderbilt in the coming years, because these dudes are large and in charge, and they’ll bring that extra little bit of fabulousness that we all want deep inside to Vanderbilt campus.

    after doing a minimal amount of research, i found something about how brothers of this frat can’t “get involved” with pledges, for lack of a better term. working that in somehow could result in crazy comedy
