"Gay Greeks" Sought for National Survey

        Were you in a fraternity or sorority when you were in college?  If so, you may
be interested in participating in a confidential national survey of gay men,
bisexuals and lesbians who are either undergraduate or alumni members of a
traditional social fraternity or sorority.

        The research project is being conducted by Douglas Case, Coordinator of
Fraternity and Sorority Life at San Diego State University and past national
president of the Association of Fraternity Advisors, a professional association
of college and university administrators who advise fraternities and
sororities.

        The five page survey consists of 32 short-answer questions covering a variety
of topics.  Respondents are asked why they joined and what they got out the
"Greek" experience.  There are questions about sexual identity and activity
while in college, homophobic attitudes or behavior within their fraternity or
sorority chapter, and any homoerotic activity within the chapter.  The survey
asks whether any members of the fraternity or sorority became aware of the
respondent's sexual orientation, and if so, what type of response was received.
 Space is provided to elaborate on personal experiences.  The survey is
strictly confidential -- the published results will not contain any names or
information that might identify a particular individual.
