New York, NY – In a recent article from The Wallstreet Journal, gay fraternities were profiled with great detail.

It began when Syracuse University junior Aaron Goldsmith couldn’t see himself at any of his school’s fraternities, so he decided to make one where gay members would be the majority, instead of the minority.

“This is for people who might not fit in at other houses,” Goldsmith told the WSJ when speaking of the Delta Lambda Phi colony in Syracuse, set to open this fall. “It’s bridging a gap between activism and social life.”

Gamme Rho Lambda, a sorority that targets lesbian women, has grown to 15 chapters or colonies since opening their first chapter in 2003, according to a spokeswoman who provided WSJ with the information.

“It’s hard to meet people at NYU – let alone gay people – as a math major,” said Eric Limjoco (of New York University) to the WSJ.

Though Delta Lambda Phi is still small in numbers, they told the WSJ that they try to live by their slogan: “making your presence known.”
