eQ Alliance to present ‘Gay, Greek and Proud’

Programming Council has teamed up with eQ Alliance, the student organization for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community on campus, to present “Gay, Greek and Proud” at 1 p.m. today in the Student Center lounge, said Sebastian Moleski, president of eQ.

Moleski said the host, Leif Mitchell, will give a lecture and presentation about his experiences as a gay student in a fraternity, based on a book he co-authored titled “Out on Fraternity Row: Personal Accounts of Gay Men in Fraternities.”

“The purpose of the presentation is to address the subject of gay people in fraternities,” Moleski, a freshman political science and international economics major, said.

Craig Larson, the secretary of eQ, said he hopes the group can broaden campus awareness of gay and lesbians that might be in fraternities and sororities by bringing more speakers like Mitchell.
