| How Do You Create a PILLAR |
| Support Group on Campus? |
| |
It is still very hard to be gay on campus, much less in Greek Life. PILLAR is a program designed to provide a safe environment for GLBQ students who are in a campus fraternity/sorority community and who wish to receive more information, support, and fellowship about their own sexual orientation. PILLAR can be a welcome addition to show support for GLBQ students in Greek Life.
