Diversity and Inclusion

As a chapter, we are committed to expanding our knowledge on the importance of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. We address the historic reputation of Greek life as predominantly white, heteronormative, and exclusive organizations. As a chapter, we work tirelessly to change this narrative and establish our chapter as an accepting and inclusive space for all.
