Brotherhood: Gay Life in College Fraternities

Education

Since the 1998 publication of his groundbreaking book Out on Fraternity Row, editor and Lambda 10 Project founder Shane Windmeyer has witnessed many changes in the reception and treatment of gay fraternity members: "We have made tremendous progress on men coming out to their brothers and being more likely to find acceptance due to the credo 'once a brother, always a brother,' but the new challenge and logical next boundary to break down for the fraternity closet is rushing openly gay." His new book, Brotherhood, is a bold step in that direction. Windmeyer reveals a 10-year perspective of progress on gay issues within college fraternities and suggests a 10-year plan to continue educational efforts for further systemic implementation to combat homophobia in fraternities. Windmeyer and others involved in the Lambda 10 Project provide valuable articles on:


Hazing and homophobia

Trials and tribulations of rushing openly gay

How to be an ally to a gay brother

Passing sexual orientation in a fraternity nondiscrimination statement


And in addition to new, true accounts by gay fraternity members about their experiences coming out over the past decade, Brotherhood includes numerous stories by gay men concerning the reception they received when they did not hide their sexual orientation while rushing.


This is a must-read book for high school advisors, anyone involved in college life, and young men intent on rushing a fraternity.
