You’d think that if Texas were to start a chapter of Delta Lambda Phi, the nation’s largest and oldest fraternity organization for gay and bisexual men, it’d be in freaky-deaky Austin, but the University of Texas El Paso, beat them to the punch. Not to be left behind, Russell van Kraayenburg (pictured) and friends have started their own awesome homo frat chapter at UT Austin.
The Austin American-Statesman reports:
“Since September, the members have met weekly at restaurants, cafes and other places near campus. It’s too soon to begin thinking about buying a house, said Joe Anderson, who helped launch the local chapter. They are focused on reaching out to students this semester to form their next pledge class.
“We are just excited to get the ball rolling,” Anderson said. “Our main goal is to serve as a resource and as mentors” to incoming students who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer.
UT has a number of groups for gay, bisexual and transgender students, but the Delta Lambda Phi members say going through an initiation process to become a brother forms stronger bonds.
“There’s no doubt that some people think that this might be the wrong way to go about it or might think that there is no reason we should even be participating in a Greek system,” van Kraayenburg said. “But I think those individuals think that the Greek system is flawed in general, and I don’t think so at all. I think the Greek system and the chance to become a brother or sister with a group of people is an amazing process.”
How about we take this to the next level?

okay, we in austin are not “freaky-deaky”…. well, aside for a festival dedicated to pot and acid (all for charity of course), drive-through liquor/keg barns, and a homeless transvestite who ran for mayor and got almost 8% of the votes….
but other than that… we’re pretty normal….

Why bother? Based on what I’ve seen on multiple pay websites, ordinary frat boys straight men)walk around naked all day, have speed cumming contests, shower parties, ass grabbing, circle jerks and French kissing literally every day. And people subscribe to see it all.

@Dawster: I always though we should vote to secede from the rest of the state and join California perhaps Cali would be willing to trade Bakersfield and Orange California (2 of the most conservative cities In CA, http://govpro.com/content/gov_imp_31439/ )to balance it out 😉

To bad that Delta Lambda Phi has nothing to do with running around naked and ass grabbing and all that :-p There was a chapter back at my university and they did a lot of community service and stuff. It wasn’t sex related at all… They were all actually pretty cool.
And @dawster Austin is a little freaky :-p
@Dave You are more than welcome to join Cali! We’ll even throw in Fresno with Bakersfield, but we may keep Orange cause there are some cuties there 😀
