In the 1960s, Purdue officials tell a young coed she must leave her girlfriend or face expulsion. A sorority sister in the early '80s comes to terms with her sexuality in the face of a stiflingly conservative campus. Nearly 20 years later a young woman stands up at a meeting of her sorority to proudly say, "I am a lesbian."

In the groundbreaking Out on Fraternity Row, editors Shane L. Windmeyer and Pamela W. Freeman shattered the silence of gay men in college fraternities. Now they have turned their attention to college sororities to examine the traditionally homophobic and heterosexist atmosphere they engender. This anthology, resulting from the work of the nationally renowned Lambda 10 Project, presents 32 moving first-person accounts of lesbian and bisexual sorority sisters--stories of pain, isolation, and personal conviction that stand as a powerful and courageous effort to gain greater understanding within sororities of the true nature of sisterhood.  Also included are educational resources on how to deal with homophobia in the college sorority and how to encourage the Greek system to accept openly gay, lesbian & bisexual members.
