Sigma Phi Beta, America's First Gay Fraternity

While Greek life may be an amazing experience for many students, it can also be an unwelcoming and unsafe one for gay students on some college campuses. Sigma Phi Beta, which claims to be America's first gay fraternity, aims to change at least a small part of that.

Started at Arizona State University, the fraternity's mission is to "[promote] equality and respect by providing Queer and Allied men in college with a uniquely diverse safe space within the traditional Greek fraternity system. [They] strive for integrity and professionalism, and uphold high standards of scholarship and excellence." The State Press is also reporting that at least one other chapter of the fraternity is being chartered. For more information, you can check out their website or contact them directly.
