lambda10.org

I don't know if anyone else has heard of lambda10.org, but all this talk about the 'Pledged' book has reminded me of it. It features books about gay greeks' experiences, and the few they have on their site is interesting. It also has some neat info about different GLOs policies on sexual orientation, and education programs to help raise awareness within your group.
it's really interesting and I recommend checking it out.

There's some discussion of lambda10, with contributions from people involved in that project, here: Who's Out? Interesting site about gay members of greek orgs.

yeah but i think the site may have changed since then, because from the discussion about it there it seems to have only been a list of people, whereas now its more of a resource for dealing with homosexuality/homophobia in the greek community.

I have heard of this website, in fact I think I discovered it while pledging because I went to school in San Francisco where the gay community is quite large, and this was a big issue on our campus and within the greek system there. I found out about some people I had known or met but had no idea they were homosexual...it's a great project.

Actually, I think that being a resource for dealing with homosexuality/homophobia in the greek community has always been the main purpose of lambda10. The list of "who's out" was put together to further that purpose by showing that GLOs already have many gay members.
