Chapter Sweet Chapter

Alpha Lambda (British Columbia)

Belonging, equity, diversity and inclusion (BEDI) are part of Alpha Lambda’s everyday chapter life. The chapter’s BEDI Chair Isabel Everson works tirelessly to ensure current and future Alpha Lambdas feel seen and safe to share their unique experiences with sisters. One way Isabel achieved this was through a potluck, where she had sisters share family recipes representative of their backgrounds and cultures. Chapter President Sara Morrow said of the potluck, “Our members got to share a little piece of their homes and lives with sisters through food, making the event a major success.”

The chapter’s BEDI department regularly invites speakers to come and present topics on equity and inclusion to chapter members. These presentations allow members to continue their learning to, as Sara says, "create necessary growth for our members and community.”

The chapter’s executive council and collegiate leaders also view their work through a BEDI lens, ensuring that every event is equitable and accessible.

“BEDI is an extremely important aspect of our chapter,” Sara says.
