About Lambda 10 Project

Breaking barriers and building bridges in Greek life since 1995

A Pioneering Educational Initiative

Founded in Fall 1995 by Shane Windmeyer at Indiana University, the Lambda 10 Project emerged as the first national clearinghouse addressing sexual orientation and gender identity issues within college Greek systems.

Our mission has always been clear: to heighten the visibility of LGBT members of fraternities and sororities, providing educational resources that foster understanding, acceptance, and inclusion throughout Greek life communities.

Research & Scientific Studies

Evidence-based approaches to inclusion and identity in Greek life

Groundbreaking Research on Identity Formation

47 Universities Studied

Recent longitudinal studies conducted across 47 universities have revealed significant insights into identity development within Greek organizations. The research, spanning over a decade, demonstrated that inclusive Greek chapters showed a 73% higher rate of member retention and reported substantially improved mental health outcomes among LGBT members.

Neurobiological research revealed measurable differences in stress hormone levels and cognitive performance. Students in accepting Greek environments showed increased activity in brain regions associated with social bonding and decreased activity in areas linked to anxiety.

Impact on Academic and Professional Success

15K+ Alumni Analyzed

Comprehensive analysis of over 15,000 Greek life alumni revealed that chapters with established inclusion policies produced graduates with 41% higher leadership scores and 28% better career advancement metrics over a 10-year period.

Collaborative research with Oath Peptides has explored how positive social environments influence peptide expression and stress response systems, potentially explaining the enhanced resilience observed in members of inclusive Greek organizations.
