Queer Eye

- - Yeah, keep that.

Oh my gosh! Who are we doing this week, Bobby?

"Our heroes this week," and I do say "heroes…"

Plot twist!

"…are the fraternity brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha."

- Ooh! -That's right. We're doing a frat house.

Say that differently.

We are…

-Helping. -Helping a frat house.

I love it!

yeah!

Yeah, bro!

-Bros! Bros! Bros! -Lambs! Lambs!

If I hit this one, Josh, you're getting a mohawk.

- -Oh no!

You gotta get a mohawk.

-Marco, is this your pizza? -Uh…

Whose pizza is that?

"Seniors Ian and Josh Allen have nominated themselves and their brothers

because they want the Fab Five to give them a wake-up call

and push the frat in the right direction."

Our fraternity kind of dipped in quality.

Our house has been kind of in the dumps recently.

The fraternity is definitely, um…

It's… Well, it's a mess.

"Most of the boys in Lambda Chi

never saw themselves as a fraternity type."

I don't feel we look like a fraternity most of the time,

which I don't think is a bad thing.

"After getting through the pandemic,

they formed a brotherhood and support system."

-That's nice. - Yeah.

"For many of them, Lambda Chi Alpha is a chosen family."

I love that the straights even have chosen family.

- Yeah. - So many memories at this house…

Being able to live with your closest friends and your brothers,

it's a wonderful thing to have.

- Food's ready. - They're caring.

They want to make a difference.

It's probably the most active chapter in terms of what they do for the community

with their philanthropic efforts.

I love this. I mean, that's what fraternities were meant to be.

-Community organizations. - Yes.

"After two years of canceled events due to the pandemic,

most people at the UNO campus have no idea Lambda Chi even exists."

Not being able to have big groups of people at our house

definitely stunted our growth.

We don't have an influx of money just always coming in.

We have to work certain events that, like, make us money.

It'd be better if we had a fan out here.

Like, an actual fan that's good?

We have a bucket list of things before we get to that.

There's a good bit of them that come from modest means.

That makes it harder to pay dues.

That makes it harder for them to buy the things they need.

Not all of us can be from the country club, right?

The financial standing of the fraternity right now is not good.

It's not as good as it used to be.

In the '80s, our fraternity was so big

that they bought this house because they had the money.

This year coming up, we're gonna try and push as hard as we can

to get a bunch of new members,

especially before we leave, when we graduate.

"At the end of the week, the fraternity is hosting an alumni mixer."

"This is an important event for these guys

to ask for alumni donations that the fraternity desperately needs

in order to put on events in the upcoming semester."

We still have some alumni who are really good and wanna help,

but some of them are gonna start flaking off if we don't…

Give them a reason.

…give them a reason to come back and want to help us.

To see that we are actively trying to make this fraternity better.

We wanna impress the alumni… Sorry.

Ooh.

Yeah… We wanna impress the alumni.

"Our mission this week

is to turn these sloppy joes into proper pros."

-Yeah! -Whoo!

It's very quiet.

Ooh, I see the Solo cups.

-It's not opening. - Try a code.

Try the password "boobs." Like, 8-0-0… Like, spell…

-One, two, three, four. -No, try spelling "boobs."

-I have two older brothers! - 0-0-0-0.

-Try "boob." -"Boob"?

- Add an S. - 8-0-0…

- - Oh my God!

-You smart little girl! -Yeah!

At least we know they're all straight!

Although gay dudes like boobs too.

It's a common misconception.

- Oh. - Whoa!

-Bro! - That hits you.

Oh God. It stinks so bad in here.

Are they asleep?

- -

Oh my God. There's somebody on the sofa.

Life is coming at you fast! You gotta get up and face the world!

Come on, honey!

Let's go!

It's your wake-up call!

Come on! Who are you, kid?

-Josh. - You have the prettiest lashes.

-Nice to meet you, honey! - Get up, Josh!

Come help us find the others.

Did y'all check the time?

-Why don't we bang on stuff? - Ooh, yeah.

Time. To. Wake. Up.

Pledge master is here.

Oh, we found another one!

Here's another one! Wake up! Wake up!

I'm up. I'm up. I'm up.

Yeah, it stinks so bad in here.

- Wow! -It's not my room. Not my room.

It's not your room?

Wake up! Wake up!

There are lost boys everywhere.

Wake up! Wake up!

Every boy is sleeping in some dirty crevice.

Hello, little sleeping angel.

Aw!

- Wake up, baby! - Good morning!

Morning pizza party! Wow!

- Get up! Get up! -Get up!

Yay!

Oh my gosh. Did we wake you?

It's so dirty! Ew!

What is all this?

It's a health hazard.

The sink and the stove tell me it's a kitchen.

Oh! Oh my God!

These are massive fruit flies.

This house is disgusting.

Tell me why this is a place that you guys want to live.

During the school year, this is basically like a hub.

It's always people passing through,

and they always got something going on here.

Okay. Okay.

My parents moved to Mississippi Gulf Coast and Bay St. Louis,

so it's about an hour now,

so I'm now ten minutes away from campus.

-This place is pretty important to you. -Oh, hell yeah.

But there doesn't seem to be a lot of respect for the house.

Before I moved in here, when I was a freshman and I joined,

the house was pretty clean.

So you guys found it semi-nice,

and then you guys specifically have ruined it?

- Well, me and… -It's been ruined over the years and all…

Just depends on what group lives in the house.

It's a frat house. You guys party here,

but the cleanliness, whose responsibility is it to kind of rally the troops?

It would probably be me. I think it's, like, motivation.

I'm like, "Yo, we need to do this. We need to do that,"

and it will last a couple days.

We start doing it,

but the second somebody sees somebody not pulling their weight,

they'll slack off, and then it becomes contagious.

It's like a snowball kind of effect.

Oh, I can't. I can't, but I must.

The kitchen is, like, a mix of apple cider vinegar and, like, ugh.

Like old tequila.

Just kidding.

And that smell that oranges get

when they start to get fuzzy and green and moldy on the outside.

-No! -

No! No!

There's flies everywhere!

I don't wanna do this.

Ugh. Just disinfect everything.

Every one of these children's mamas and daddies

is gonna be ashamed that these children are living like this.

Couldn't have been at my house.

No way that my sons have been living like this.

I'd have came in here and wrecked shop.

What have we here?

Evidence of false lashes.

What young woman is having to operate in this madness?

She's gonna get an eye infection.

Lots of touching loofahs.

I want, like, a HIPAA-certified hospital cleaner

on my back.

Sypha-herpa-purple-ase.

That's what I gotta say about it in here.

Tanny!

Oh, wait. Tanny.

Come back, Tanny. Come back.

So this kitchen…
