Sigma Phi Beta is Gay

My name is Maxi Henn and I am a member of Sigma Phi Beta. I am very proud to be a member of Sigma Phi Beta. Sigma Phi Beta is very new on Ohio State's campus. SPB was granted colony status just last year in early September. SPB is a little bit different from other fraternities on OSU's campus. SPB is a Queer and Allied fraternity and all of its current members are gay.



I am not only proud to be apart of Sigma Phi Beta as a founding father on Ohio State's campus, but also because of the community my fraternity builds. I believe SPB helps to promote a safe space within traditional Greek life on campus as well as helping to educate other Fraternities and Sororities about the LGBT community. We have received nothing but respect, support, and enthusiasm from the Greek community thus far. And I believe we have already made an impact in the short time we've had on campus. We have held multiple LGBT geared events, we made the local news, marched in Columbus Pride, and we were on the winning Greek week team last semester. And Sigma Phi Beta at The Ohio State University is just getting started.



Sigma Phi Beta is a great organization and provides amazing support for its members. Gay, bisexual, and transgender men are often alienated from mainstream society and SPB creates a tight knit group of men. My brothers have helped me through break ups, conflicts with family, and simply dealing with everyday stress in college. I would be hurting without them.



While Sigma Phi Beta is brand new to Ohio State's campus and my life, I am extremely proud to be a member of Sigma Phi Beta and I'm excited to see what else we can do!
