Gay Fraternity Coming to UCF Following Expansion Committee Vote
News, Student Orgs, UCF Greek Life — By Kevin Wolkenfeld on August 6, 2010 at 12:25 amVote Was Overwhelmingly In Favor Of Inviting Gay Fraternity to UCF
Times are changing at the University of Central Florida.
Last week around this time, history was made when UCF invited its first gay, bi-sexual and progressive fraternity on campus. It’s called Delta Lambda Phi, and the invitation was made official with a vote count of 8-1-1 by a Expansion Committee.
Delta Lambda Phi’s national site says it “offer[s] gay, bisexual, and progressive men across the nation the opportunity to grow in the true spirit of brotherhood ‐‐ one that embraces diversity and respects the value of all.”
UCF IFC President Kyle Schumaker said, “The Interfraternity Council at UCF is proud to be one of the most inclusive organizations on campus and we look forward to the value Delta Lambda Phi will add.”
Delta Sigma Phi fraternity was also approved by the Greek Council.
An IFC expansion committee originally only recommended bringing one fraternity on campus at the time, but the expansion committee overwhelmingly supported bringing two on at once.

I’m just wondering how things will work if they join IFC. Socials with girls they aren’t interested in (shopping spree anyone?), and mutual events and everything else mutual that comes with being in the same council with straight men. The only people who win here is Pan, God knows IFC is going to get the wrong end of the stick (literally).
Schumaker for SGA President?
I guess there are going to be a lot of empty spots in SGA Now.
so much for DTD rushing a large pledge class this year…
I didn’t see it anywhere else yet… at least not at UCF.
So this happened last week? Yet now Knight News reports it. Completely worthless source of news.
you must like KN enough to be checking it everyday to post your “craptastic” comments and feel important. Get a life, loser!!!!! Worry about other issues, damn.
Uhh, what is DU going to do now?

Gay Fraternity Invited To UCF’s Campus
2 Fraternities Extended Invitations To Colonize This School Year
Local 6 called it the same thing and the frats site is proud to be the only gay fraternity…
Just for clarification the “gay fraternity” is being invited to expand in fall, the other fraternity is being invited to sart in Spring.
“gay fraternity”…? Way to be political correct KN. Just another fail in your craptastic excuse of what you consider reporting.
