Delta Lambda Phi (ΔΛΦ; officially the Delta Lambda Phi Social Fraternity; DLP or Lambda) is an international social fraternity for gay, bisexual, transgender and progressive men.[2] The fraternity was founded in 1986 in Washington, D.C.[3][4] It offers a social environment and structure similar to other Greek-model college fraternities.[5][6] It was the first, and as of 2013 the only, national fraternity with an emphasis on gay and bisexual men.[7]
