Press ReleaseLambda 10 Announces Sequel to Out on Fraternity Row Call for Writers Released for Gay & Bisexual Fraternity Experience by March 10, 2004BLOOMINGTON, Ind., Jan. 12, 2004 -- The Lambda 10 Project for Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Fraternity Issues announces the sequel to the gay national best seller Out on Fraternity Row: Personal Accounts of Being Gay in a College Fraternity to be edited by Shane L. Windmeyer and published by Alyson Publications in Fall 2005. The official "Call for Writers" is available for gay and bisexual fraternity men online at www.lambda10.org/ofr2."More and more college men are rushing openly gay in college fraternities today," said Shane L. Windmeyer, co-editor of Out on Fraternity Row and Founder/Coordinator of the Lambda 10 Project. "Experiences range from the secret tales of a closeted brother to the dating of another fraternity brother...there are men who are accepted and many men still who are kicked out by their fraternity brothers once they find out they're gay. 'Out on Fraternity Row 2' will delve deeper this time around -- looking closely at issues of male bonding, friendship and sexuality." The Lambda 10 Project seeks interested writers until March 10, 2004 and also encourages straight fraternity men to submit their perspectives about having a gay brother present within the fraternity. If interested, please contact OFR2 editor Shane L. Windmeyer at (704) 277-6710 or email shane@lambda10.org. Interested writers may also find writing guidelines and timeline online at www.lambda10.org/ofr2. "Lambda 10 has made history breaking the cycle of invisibility that shrouds the traditional college fraternity on sexual orientation issues," said Eric Van Sant, National Public Relations Chair for Delta Lambda Phi, the first and the largest national fraternity for gay, bisexual and straight progressive men. "The work of Lambda 10 has dramatically changed the dialogue on campus. Now more than ever, we need OFR2 and further visibility on what it is like to be lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender on campus, especially in our college fraternities." According to Van Sant, the historic landmark work of the Lambda 10 Project has changed the environment of traditional college fraternities. Founded in 1995 at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN, the Lambda 10 Project is the only national clearinghouse of it's kind for lgb fraternity and sorority issues located online at www.lambda10.org. "We are everywhere, even college fraternities. With the first book 'Out on Fraternity Row,' it could no longer be denied that there are gay and bisexual brothers in every college fraternity," said Windmeyer. "This sequel to 'Out on Fraternity Row' will allow a whole new chapter of fraternity men to come forward and share their voice - a renewed truth about fraternity life." The Lambda 10 Project National Clearinghouse for Gay, Lesbian and Bisexual Fraternity & Sorority Issues works to heighten the visibility of gay, lesbian and bisexual members of the college fraternity by developing educational resources on sexual orientation issues and the fraternal experience.
