Vote 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.
