DLP takes Greek God for 3rd Time
Br. Doug in his toga during the FAQ section
Newly initiated brother Doug Overbeck, competed on behalf of the Beta Xi chapter in the Inter-Greek Council’s Greek God and Goddess to compete for the honor to be crowned as Greek God. Brother Overbeck started off the night with a fierce walk competing against some of the best members of the other fraternities on Campus. Following some fantastic responses in the Q&A portion, Doug really blew away the competition with a dance performance done in full drag to mash up of some of today’s most popular songs. Doug was not only the first place winner of Greek God bringing 10 points to Beta Xi towards the spring Greek night competition, but is also the third Greek God winner that Delta Lambda Phi has put forth to NYU’s IGC Greek God competition. Check out the video of the performance!

It’s finally here! The moment that you have all been waiting for! Beta Xi’s first annual GREEK FAMILY FEUD. We are putting a hilarious NYU twist on the beloved game show.

Recruitment Week Summary
Beta Xi is proud to announce that we had so many wonderful gentlemen come out to our recruitment events. It truly was a delight to see all the interest that there is in our unique organization at NYU. The week consisted of many great programs opening with an information session and some Big Gay Ice Cream (Beta Xi’s treat). Followed by game night throw back with board games, Naughty Apples to Apples, and N64 Mario Cart! Wednesday we took a nice relaxing tour of the West Village passing by the historic Stonewall Bar and ending up at the Chelsea Piers. Thursday we had a delicious pot luck. Friday we continued the week of tasty treats of attending theMoMA and then heading over to Momofuku’s Milk Bar for some delicious Cookies, Cereal Milkshakes, and Crack Pie.

We are hosting our second annual drag event on Saturday, March 5th in the Eisner & Lubin Auditorium at 60 Washington Square South.
The event, entitled “DLP’s HOTT Drag Race: Culture Couture,” is a runway-style “walk-off” competition and will be judged by a panel of four professional drag queens: Prada Major, Saya Naomi, Jiggly Brooks, and Epiphany Get Paid. Dominique Aviance will be the evening’s MC. In keeping with the night’s international theme, NYU fraternities and sororities will each enter one representative to compete in drag, representing one country. Desserts from around the world will also be served all evening and big prizes will be awarded throughout the show from the raffle!
All proceeds from tickets and raffles will be donated to Heath Outreach to Teens (HOTT) – a program run by Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, which provides everything from primary care to HIV/AIDS treatment for homeless, poor, and at-risk LGBTQ youth aged 13-24. Raffle items will be donated by businesses within the area. There are 16 to 20 thousand homeless youth in New York City. Sixty percent of that number either openly identify as LGBTQ or are questioning.
The event goes from 7:30 to 10pm, with doors opening at 7pm.

Well boys the turn out for yesterday’s Meet the (Modern) Family event was great! I think it’s safe to say that all who attended had fun snacking on chips and gummy bears while getting to know the Brothers of NYU’s Beta Xi chapter!
I hope we’ll see some new and familiar faces at tonight’s event! Family Game Night, which was such an awesome hit last semester, is back for a repeat performance! I just know everyone will have fun playing games, snacking on sweets and getting to know the Brothers.

Spring 2011 Recruitment Week: Modern Fraternity
The Beta Xi Chapter of Delta Lambda Phi at NYU is thrilled to announce its recruitment lineup for Spring 2011. Given that we think of our chapter a fun and diverse (if occasionally quirky) family of gay, bisexual, and progressive men, the theme of this semester’s recruitment week is a take-off on the popular ABC comedy series Modern Family. With this recruitment period, the Beta Xi chapter is anticipating continued expansion in member size. We hope that all young gay, bisexual, and progressive men of NYU will feel free to stop by one of the following events and get to know the family!

“You-Are-Loved” Vigil Is A Huge Success!
Last evening, over 2,000 people turned out for the “You-Are-Loved” Glowlight Vigil in honor of the recent young men who have passed as a result of LGBTQ-related bullying. Even in the pouring rain, Delta Lambda Phi and NYU LGBT organizations carried on and welcomed invited speakers Governor Paterson, NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn, and performer Cheyenne Jackson! We appreciate all the help they provided for this event.

Thank you to everyone for bringing this event to life and may we not stop here, but rather continue fighting to make our schools safer for all students.
