American Notes UNIVERSITIES UCLA's

Add a new sorority to the roster of campus Greeks: Lambda Delta Lambda, a nine-member lesbian group that received official sanction from UCLA last month as the first official gay sorority in the nation. The UCLA decision allows the sorority to meet on campus -- Lambda Delta Lambda does not have the money for a residence -- and to apply for student funds, but requires the organization to be open to all women. The members plan to volunteer in local charities such as a gay-lesbian support group for high school students. Said Lambda's Krisi Burk: "We're trying to get away from the status, money, good-looks preoccupation."
