DEI Update As part of the Fraternity’s ongoing efforts to provide learning and growth for all members surrounding diversity, equity and inclusion, the Fraternity partnered with Alpha Delta Pi to host the virtual discussion "When Intent Doesn't Equal Impact" with Dr. Stacey Pearson-Wharton. The session explored navigating difficult conversations with our sisters and being an ally in today’s world. A ® recording of the session will be available online until March 25.
DEI Committee Member Simone Brooks, Lambda Delta–Rutgers University, presented “A Seat at the Table: It’s Not Black and White Anymore” at the National Panhellenic Conference's Collegiate Leadership Meeting in January. Simone provided perspective on the inter-sectional experience of being a woman of color in Panhellenic. As a collegiate member, Simone co-founded the Coalition for Women of Color at her university and now serves on its board of directors.
For added learning, we recommend ® Episode 10: College 101 of Dr. Stacey's podcast, Being the Dot, where she interviews three Black students from predominantly white colleges.
“The presence of women of color in our Panhellenic community is not recent; however, the acknowledgment and valuing of women of color in our community has just begun and is far too late,” Simone said.
