Synopsis
"This volume is an important one, because it teaches, in the most intimate way possible, the complex lessons of embrace and rejection of sisters. Lesbians do not want to be 'accepted.' We want to be, and to have, sisters. As with all love, the greatest enemy of that goal is fear."-from the foreword by Sheila Kuehl
The first-person accounts of 25 women stand as a powerful and courageous collective effort to address the traditionally homophobic and heterosexist atmosphere within sororities and gain greater understanding of the true nature of sisterhood.
Shane L. Windmeyer is the assistant director of student activities at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte. Pamela W. Freeman is the assistant dean of students at Indiana University in Bloomington, Ind.

From Publishers Weekly
Gratitude, bewilderment, nostalgia, vitriol and a host of other emotions emerge from the pages of Secret Sisters: Stories of Being Lesbian and Bisexual in a College Sorority, edited by Shane L. Windmeyer and Pamela W. Freeman (Out on Fraternity Row). In honest, fascinating essays, lesbian and bisexual women tell of their experiences in the Greek system from the 1950s to the present. Some of them came out and were warmly accepted (one woman brought her girlfriend to the end-of-the-year formal), while others were ostracized and put on probation by their sisters, and others simply left. This rare glimpse into a cloistered world will intrigue women of all ages.
