(Chicago, Illinois) For the first time, LGBT campus Greeks from across the country will hold a conference.

“Greek houses were once considered a primary source of homophobia on college campuses,” said conference co-chair Justin Hager, who is openly gay and a founding member of the Tau chapter of Sigma Pi Fraternity International.

“But now more than ever, LGBT members of the Greek system are being open and honest about who we are. This conference hopes to provide an opportunity to enhance that dialogue, share tools and create further strategies for change.”

The “Out and Greek” conference will be held at De Paul University in Chicago from Nov. 14 to 16.

It was organized by Campus Pride, a national organization for student leaders and campus groups working to create a safer college environment for LGBT students.

Featured speakers and presenters will include Shane Windmeyer, best-selling author of “Out on Fraternity Row,” “Secret Sisters” and “Brotherhood.”

1. I think I saw a movie about lesbian sorority sisters once...

Certainly was the strangest documentary I've ever seen.

Oh, wait.

3. As much as I hate the fraternity crap ...

... this may actually do something about the reputation.

Good for them!
