The Lambda 10 Project is an American national clearinghouse of information about LGBT issues in American fraternities and sororities. The organization works to heighten the visibility of out members and offers educational resources related to sexual orientation and the fraternity and sorority experience.[1][2]

History

In the 1990s, Shane Windmeyer, assistant director of student activities at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte began speaking at colleges about LGBTQ issues in fraternities and sororities.[3] In 1995, Windmeyer created The Lambda 10 Project.[3] The Lambda 10 Project is housed at Indiana University Bloomington's Office of Student Ethics and Anti-harassment Programs and is overseen by the Lambda 10 Steering Committee. .[2]

Lambda 10 Project is an educational initiative of Campus Pride, a national nonprofit organization.[4]

Activities

The Lambda 10 Project provides an index of lecturers available for events; lists of Internet forums concerning LGBT Greek life; and a repository of magazine articles, websites, and pertinent news stories.[2]

Working with the LGBT publisher Alyson Publications, the Lambda 10 Project compiled and released four anthologies of homosexual and bisexual students' Greek experiences, edited for Windmeyer, including Out on Fraternity Row: Personal Accounts of Being Gay in a College Fraternity (1998), Secret Sisters: Stories of Being Lesbian and Bisexual in a College Sorority (2001), and Brotherhood: Gay Life in College Fraternities (2005).[2][5][6][7][8]
