Gay frat seeks approval from UT-San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO - A group of gay students is seeking recognition as the first gay fraternity at the University of Texas at San Antonio.

Alpha Lambda Tau, which currently has four member, wants to expand its membership to all men. It's goal is to improve overall campus diversity, said Chris Forbrich, the group's president.

The organization will go before UTSA's Interfraternity Council on Wednesday to make its case for inclusion.

"We want to make a place where gay people themselves could feel comfortable participating in Greek life," Forbrich said.

"It's no different than any other fraternity, except that it attracts gay men," he said.

The council's general assembly is expected to vote on the matter Nov. 5. The general assembly, made up of representatives from other campus fraternities, will make a recommendation to university officials, who will make the final decision.

Misty Kelley, the program adviser for leadership and Greek life at UTSA, said the university has always accepted recommendations from the council in the past.

Kelley said to become a new fraternity, group's must show what positive attributes it would bring to the campus and its potential to recruit members.

"We want an organization that is going to make the Greek community stronger," she said.

The group must also receive approval from the nation chapter of Alpha Lambda Tau. If approved, the UTSA fraternity would become the third Alpha Lambda Tau chapter, joining chapters at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and Arizona State University.

There appears to be support on campus for recognizing the group as a fraternity.

"If they want to have one (a gay fraternity), why shouldn't they?" UTSA junior Abel Esquivel said. "As long as it doesn't hurt anybody."

Julian Rodriguez, president of Kappa Sigma and council vice president, said most students see the group as "a regular fraternity. They are after common goals, and they will be accepted as such."

But sophomore Joel Aldo Diaz disagreed.

"Basically, the view is not against homosexuality itself. It's more against the fraternity itself," Diaz said in story for Wednesday's edition of the San Antonio Express-News.

"They're telling the world what they do in their bedroom," he said.

Wow. Poor guy.

A friend once told me that he has had a number of occasions of being approached by gays like that (he's not gay, btw) and it's quite uncomfortable for him he said when it's happened. I told him that I must have led a sheltered life, that's never happened to me - thank GAWD !! I would hate it !!

When we lived in Boerne, BHS used to have a "Miss BHS" contest where the guys would dress as women and compete for the title. One of the linebackers sat next to my oldest daughter in class and he refused to ever dress up like a woman even for charity! There wasn't enough money to make him do that! It was hilarious to hear him talk about his teammates who did compete.

Cannot feature what it must be like for a guy to be hit on by another guy! UGH!

Beta Phi, more likely.

Nothing personal, but you remind me of one of our old Rush chants:

If you can't go Greek, Go Teke

And if you can't go Teke, Go Home!

I've always liked that one.

I had some Chi Omega friends, who insisted Alpha Chi Omega were really Almost Chi Omegas.

Probably, a good idea. Fraternities on most campuses today are reviled by the administration and by the GDIs, most of whom are America-hating, neocommunist retards. The administration and the lefties who run it would NEVER be able to say "No" or reject a request from a faggot fraternity.

[pogo101]

No. Seekmy Guy.

I Felta Gi Thi. Ramma Ramma Ramma.

Just kidding; not meant nastily. I have a few gay friends and got those joke names from one.

[MeekOneGOP]

LOL ! I bet that was funny ...

[mhking]

Just damn.

If you want on the new list, FReepmail me. This IS a high-volume PING list...

[As i mentioned, the B/C & JD! lists are going to float into and out of whack over the forseeable future, while I try to cobble a rig back together for myself. My apologies for any incovenience or misunderstandings in this time frame. New signups/removals may be flaky in this time-frame as well; please bear with me, and keep in mind you may have to FReepmail me more than once for me to get it done. Thanks again!]

You must, must, go read the story arc that starts with this comic. [The Sunday comic has nothing to do with the story arc, just keep reading.]

[MeekOneGOP]

I went to your link and see the cartoon.
Below that there is no text to read ...

Is there something I'm missing ??
In the meantime, here's the cartoon ...

[Slings and Arrows]

That's the setup. The joke runs over several strips. Just keep following the 's, which should be below the strip.
