Bove said he has not known Sigma Chi to have any homosexual brothers, although he added there would be nothing wrong with that.

"I don't think the presence of homosexual members within the fraternity would change the dynamic of the group," Bove said. "As a chapter we would not exclude a person based on their sexual orientation. If the brothers can get along with a person and feel that they can develop a strong friendship with them, then they are admitted to the group."

Tan said that even so, gay people often feel left out of these organizations.

"A lot of people joke that we should have a gay final club," he said.

DLP only accepts men, but they do have a national sister lesbian sorority, Lambda Delta Lambda.

While the closest Lambda Delta Lambda colony is at Penn State, Mercurio said a number of women have approached him about helping them form a chapter.

After getting through the initial growing pains of its first semester, Delta Lambda Phi's next few months promise big plans, including a trip to the march on Washington, community service activities and social events.
