Summaries

Summary Sentence: Greek Allies is Georgia Tech's LGBTQIA ally training program for fraternity and sorority members.

Full Summary: The interactive curriculum is modeled on Safe Space but contains scenarios, discussions, and information relevant to members of Greek organizations. The training is 3.5-hours long and will be offered at times when most students are likely to be available. Two or three trained student facilitators from fraternities and sororities will lead the training. Free dinner is provided.

The purpose of the Greek Allies program is to make fraternities and sororities more inclusive, welcoming, and supportive of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning students.

Greek Allies engages fraternity and sorority members in doing the difficult but important work of eradicating homophobia and transphobia on Tech's campus generally and in its Greek community specifically. Even chapters that are already supportive of LGBTQ members don't always make that fact widely known so it can be difficult for our students to know where the safe spaces are.

Participating in Greek Allies is a great way to show your brothers and sisters that creating a safe environment for LGBTQ members is important to you. It also sends a really important message to the rest of the Tech community that Greek spaces are welcoming and inclusive. By completing the training and posting a Greek Allies sticker on your door, you can make your current and future brothers or sisters feel safer and more at ease in your chapter.
