List of LGBTQ and LGBTQ-friendly fraternities and sororities

LGBTQ fraternities and sororities have existed since the 1980s, with Delta Phi Upsilon being established in 1985 and Delta Lambda Phi in 1986. These groups are intended to provide members with access to Greek life without fear of homophobic reprisal or behavior by fellow members, resulting from a history of homophobia within longer-established organizations.

In addition to groups established for LBGTQ members, in the 21st century, many Greek letter organizations have become LGBTQ-friendly by adopting diversity and inclusivity statements. In addition, some single-sex or co-educational fraternities and sororities have become gender-inclusive.

Organizations for all genders The following Greek letter organizations are gender-inclusive, meaning they accept male, female, trans, non-binary, etc. people into their membership. This list does not include organizations that self-define as co-educational; although such groups may well be gender-inclusive in practice, they have yet to modify their policies and language to be inclusive at the institutional level.
