With a viral campaign for one of its transgender brothers, a frat at Emerson College is making headlines this week.

A troupe of fraternity brothers at Emerson College outside Boston have become the darlings of the Internet this week, as the story of the efforts to raise money for a transgendered brother's surgery goes viral.

Members of the fraternity Phi Alpha Tau are raising money for sexual reassignment surgery for Donnie Collins, whose health insurance through the college won't pay for his chest surgery. Collins came out as transgender at 17, and has since been taking hormones and trying to raise enough money for sexual reassignment surgery.
