UNPACKING ALPHA, GAMMA AND DELTA - The Fraternity is thrilled to announce a new online program for all collegiate members. The diversity, equity and inclusion-focused modules will be released beginning in October, and points for completion will be awarded toward Collegiate Good Standing. Required sessions include: Understanding Implicit Bias, Understanding Privilege, Being the Dot: People of Color in White Spaces, Protecting the Sisterhood: Healing Ruptures in the Wake of Offense and My Sister’s Keeper: Allyship and You and Her Too.
