Delta Lambda Phi - Membership

Membership

Delta Lambda Phi's membership is open to all men whether they are gay, bisexual, transgendered, or straight.

There are three types of chapters: campus-based, multi-campus based and community based. To be eligible to join a campus or multi-campus based chapter or colony of Delta Lambda Phi, a candidate must live in close proximity to an active chapter or colony and be a male at least 18 years of age (unless the policies of an affiliated college or university allows persons younger than 18 years of age to participate in fraternities and other student groups), and a student at the college or university where the Chapter is recognized. Individual chapters may adopt additional membership requirements based on student status, as well as other policies set by their university or by their own membership. Community-based chapters, on the other hand, do not require their members to be students.

Like most social fraternities, rushing and pledging (new member training) are integral parts of the DLP experience. Once Pledges complete their training, full brotherhood is conferred. Once a Brother, the DLP experience becomes centered on social, service, and recreational activities, as well as recruitment and training of new members. Delta Lambda Phi strictly prohibits hazing and adheres to an extensive, fraternity-wide Risk Management Policy.
