NYU's Inter Greek Council voted to finalize NYU's first gay fraternity as an official chapter earlier this month.
Delta Lambda Phi's three-semester colonization process came to an end after an unanimous March 7 vote by the Inter Greek Council granting the fraternity full chapter status.
Delta Lambda Phi President Matthew Maggiacomo said in an e-mail that it was "a huge accomplishment and an even larger deal for the Greek community."
Inter Greek Council President Heather Kortholl said she could not have been more thrilled about the addition of "such an impressive group that has worked extremely hard to achieve all they have in the past few years."
Kortholl believes the group to be one of the most active in the Greek community and fully deserving of all it has accomplished over the years.
She said while many organizations have tried to become official in the council, "the men of Delta Lambda Phi simply had the leadership and drive to make it happen."
As for the members of the fraternity, the council's publicity chair, Kyle Alexander, said they couldn't have been more ecstatic.
"All of the brothers took time at the presentation to speak about how much of a community they felt within their own organization as well as the greater Greek community," Alexander said.
NYU is known for its diversity among students, Korthall said, and the addition of the Delta Lambda Phi fraternity was "a natural step."
