Delta Lambda Phi, a fraternity for gay and progressive men, has been added to the IFC.
The Interfraternity Council (IFC) approved recognizing a fraternity for gay and progressive men Tuesday, which members hope will usher in a new era of collaboration between greeks and LGBT students.
IFC President Max Wendkos said the Delta Lambda Phi colony easily earned the minimum 2/3 of the chapter presidents' approval required for recognition.
"It is always beneficial to welcome new and diverse viewpoints into any group," Wendkos said. "We are excited for the opportunity that Delta Lambda Phi presents for the IFC to strengthen its relationship with the LGBTA community."
Penn State's Delta Lambda Phi chapter closed due to lack of membership in 2002, but students re-colonized last year in an effort to bring the national fraternity for gay, bisexual and progressive men back to campus.
Delta Lambda Phi Vice President Brian Mateo said the colony's members felt inclusion within the IFC was the best avenue to increase the LGBT community's visibility.
"We wanted to just make our presence known and felt that within IFC that that was the best way," Mateo (graduate-student affairs) said.
Currently, the colony has 29 members, 11 pledges and will officially become a chapter in the fall, Mateo said.
"In my own perfect vision, I think there will be better collaboration within the LGBT community and the IFC," he said. "I hope to see people who are more open-minded."
Delta Lambda Phi President Brendon Wall said the group was "cautiously optimistic" going into Tuesday's meeting.
"Max Wendkos was very helpful, and as we were leaving, we received many congratulatory remarks," Wall (junior-energy, business and finance) said. "It was good to see."
Wall said Delta Lambda Phi members are glad to see their six-month-long pursuit for IFC recognition come to a successful end.
"We really feel like being in the IFC would allow us to be included more in events like Homecoming and THON," Wall said.
Doesn’t this just make you “Penn State proud”?
If I had ever attended Penn State, I wouldn’t admit it. And if I was an alumnus of Penn State, my checkbook would surely remain slammed shut. That place has been taken over by the sodomites with the full blessing of the administration. (Puke)
I’d say “screw them” but they’ll do it themslves.

Amazing, don’t you think???
And your taxes are paying for the web site too !!!!!!!!!!!
Progressive? Are they pro-eugenics?
Rub-a-dud-dub, three men in a tub...
That’s so Gamma Alpha Upsilon
Next the Pot-heads will want a fraternity too. Kopa Kopa Buzz!
When did it become so cool to be gay? When did it become so cool for girls to be lesbian until graduation in college?
It’s one thing to talk about tolerance and all that of different people. But when did we cross the line from being just tolerant to celebrating this diversity?
I guess I wonder, in the case of college, certainly gays are welcome in any other fraternity. Why is there a need for a homosexual themed frat?
LOL, just hope rushees aren’t required to go to the house during Rush.
Gross! LOL
>>Currently, the colony has 29 members, 11 pledges<<
Ohhh boy. I can just imagine what hell week will be like...
LOLOLOLOLOL
I’m All “Wee-Weed” Up Now!
"Thank you sir may I have another?"
Uhh... yeah...
Well, I guess they're not called "Greek" for nothing.
When will John Q. Public and College Joe realize that the push for the “professives” cleverly push of the word “diversity” was a planned way to lay the groundwork for brainwashing the West into not having a core aversion of homosexual behavior in the town square. Islamic terrorists are also given special treatment under the holy term, “diverse.”
The so-called “progressives,” (another oxymoron) have downgrading male/female marriage and convinced the sheeple to avoid thinking about the cardinal Biblical prohibition stating that a male lying with another male in the way he lies with a woman is an abomination.
So many fine young men and women have fallen victim to political correctness, with their own parents too confused and brainwashed themselves to be of any help or guidance to their mentally kidnapped children. Instead of helping their children understand that homosexuality is not inborn, but a learned behavior, they declare proudly to all who will listen, “Oh, our son is gay.”
Even the more liberal brands of religious parochical schools have been infiltrated by predators posing as diversity advocates. Families have never been more important in teaching and modeling right and wrong.
