What is NGA all about?
Northwestern Greek Allies's mission is to establish a longstanding organization that promotes educational programming and diversity awareness in regards to LGBT and questions students and their allies. NGA seeks to accomplish this broader mission by:
1) educating current fraternity and sorority members about LGBT issues in their community, the nation and the world,
2) reaching out to LGBT members of the Greek community and their allies, and
3) advocating on behalf of LGBT individuals and their allies.
Research: The Lambda 10 Project
- Lambda 10 is a national clearinghouse for LGBT fraternity and sorority issues
- Conducts
research, publishes books, gives presentations, and founded the Out and Greek
Conference
- Lambda 10 found that the heterocentric nature of Greek social activities led LGBT individuals to hide their sexual orientation
- LGBT individuals
were afraid and embarrassed to reveal their sexual orientation in case their
brothers or sisters would treat them differently or hold false opinions about
them.
