There's just one month left before Lambda 10 Project's OUT & Greek National LGBT & Ally Fraternity & Sorority Leadership Conference. The event is slated for Nov. 12-14 at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana.

OUT & Greek is the only conference of its kind for LGBT & ally fraternity and sorority leaders, and offers students, faculty and advisors opportunities to share their stories of coming out in the Greek system, network with other LGBT & ally fraternity and sorority leaders, learn strategies to make their communities safer and more LGBT-friendly and more.

Featured keynotes of this year’s conference include “Reel Diversity” by Brian C.Johnson, “The Time Is Now" with Shane Windmeyer, The New Gay Greek” with TJ Sullivan and “Always Wear Your Head” with Tyson Wooters. Featured sessions include a “Tell Your Story” student panel of LGBT fraternity and sorority members, "Transgender 101" roundtable, “Safe Space & Inclusion in Fraternities and Sororities” by Bucknell University as well as “Bystander Behavior” with Mike Dilbeck. There will also be a special Advisors Track for Fraternity & Sorority Professionals and a showing of the Names Project AIDS Memorial Quilt for conference participants.

Over three days on the Indiana University campus, registered participants can expect to learn, mold their leadership and change action plans and get to know other student leaders through fun, resourceful and detailed workshops, featured presentations, discussion groups, special events, national keynote speakers and more.

“There is no other conference nationwide that offers the resources, information and networking LGBT & ally fraternity and sorority leaders need to create change,”said Natalie Shaak, national conference chair. “Each participant will return from the conference with an action plan for change and leadership, ready to tackle challenges in their fraternities and sororities, on campus and in their communities.”

Registration is available online at www.lambda10.org/outandgreek/. Early bird rates are available until November 1. The early bird rate for undergraduate students is $185 and $215 for professional staff, advisors and graduate students. Registration includes all program materials, keynotes and entertainment during the three day conference. A special hotel block is available until October 18 in the Indiana Memorial Union Biddle Hotel & Conference Center. Scholarships are available online or by emailing [email protected].

The Lambda 10 Project, founded in 1995, works to heighten the visibility of LGBT members of the college fraternity and sorority by serving as a clearinghouse for educational resources and materials related to sexual orientation and gender identity/expression. Lambda 10 is an educational initiative of Campus Pride, a national non-profit working to create safer, more LGBT-inclusive colleges and build future LGBT and ally leaders.

To date the sponsors of the conference include CAMPUSPEAK, the GLBT Student Support Services Office of Indiana University and the Bloomington Hotel and Convention Services.
