Near the end of the 2005-2006 academic year at The George Washington University, GW's two LGBTQ student organizations, The Out Crowd and GW Pride, decided to join forces and form a common organization to better serve the GW LGBTQ community. The product of that union is Allied in Pride. Our mission is to encourage social and political activities among LGBTQ students and their allies, and to provide peer support for those LGBTQ students who need it.

As one of our goals is to increase awareness of diversity on the GW campus, Allied in Pride has a strict policy of non-discrimination, and we openly accept all students, regardless of their age, sex, race, nationality, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression. We also believe in providing a confidential environment to all students, and will not disclose any information about or provided by any student that seeks our support or participates in our events.

We're a new organization, here at GW, but our parent organizations have long histories, with GW Pride's extending back more than 35 years. We hope you'll join us in working towards another 35 years on this campus, helping to guarantee equality and acceptance for everyone.
