Guest – Zoë Brouns
In this episode I talk to a recent graduate, Zoë Brouns, about being queer and in a sorority (or in my case, a fraternity). Zoë started an organization on her campus called Queeks or Queer Greeks in order to increase visibility of those of us in fraternities and sororities. Talking about everything from pillow fights in underwear to sexual assault, this issue is VAST. I enjoyed tackling these topics with someone so dedicated to bridging gaps between apparently disparate groups, and showing to everyone how we can all do better.
