1926

When you open the mailbox, and a beloved Wabash College Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity brother is staring back at you! So damn proud of you, Marc Nichols. Yesterday, I was just telling Beth Little Bell the story of my mom Susie Sexton marching up to you when they dropped me off freshman year and asking if I could live in the Lambda Chi house immediately. You and she clicked instantly, and I’ve always been grateful to have guardian angels like you both in this life. Love you! Great article, Taylor Weitzer … our fraternity is so lucky to have you telling our stories. #lambdachialpha @wabashcollege #wabashcollege @marcnichols16 @faa @bethlittlebell (at Saline, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiDWC0ZrZfX/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Picture it: 1992. @wabashcollege #lambdachialpha house. Young Roy is walking through the “tube room” (where our ONE tv was) on the way to do my laundry. My frat brothers were going on in that performative way only young hormonal straight guys can for each other about how “hot” they were finding the “woman” performing on MTV. I giggled to myself when I realized the video they were watching was “Supermodel” by @rupaulofficial. After I put in my wash, I walked back to find them all a bit crestfallen, as the resident veejay had then interviewed #MamaRu and they realized they’d been duped. To their credit, they weren’t spouting off any homophobic foolishness to cover for any embarrassment they may have been feeling. We were a really kind and inclusive house. Always. All of that said, if you had told me then that I would be holding in my hot little hands today @fisherprice #LittlePeople depicting this fabulous superstar, I would’ve never believed you. But here we are. I’m sure there are some hyperventilating pundits out there sputtering that these charming toys are somehow harming our youth more than guns and devious politicians do. C’est la vie. All I know is that I’m delighted that we live in a forward-moving world where these exist … and that I own them. At age 49. 😅🌈✨#pride #pridemonth #rupaul #drag #dragqueen #fisherprice #toys #wabashcollege (at Saline, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfDMJvCD5wo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I realized I had a 25+ year gap in my #tshirt collection. Thank you, #lambdachialpha! Not sure what happened to all my @wabashcollege #fraternity gear. But here we are. And, yes, I was in a frat. I was even president. 😁 A positive, transformative experience for which I’ll be forever grateful. (at Saline, Michigan) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUdg_HxPNf8/?utm_medium=tumblr

“But Fancy was my name!” This “long distance dedication” #tshirt goes out to my darling colleague @estromcc - and by extension to her charming husband @bmccart1 who inexplicably didn’t know what this @reba classic was about. And to my @wabashcollege #lambdachialpha fraternity brother @michaelarmentano who tortured all of his freshman year roommates playing this song on repeat. Mike, it took me 30+ years but I finally appreciate the #reba magic 🪄! NOTE: I have the shirt on backwards because I don’t know how to take a selfie-in-reverse, and #rebamcentire’s beautiful visage and epic ‘do are on the shirt’s back alas!
