My Experience as a WOC

To start this off, I knew that a lot of sororities were historically white and based off of christian/catholic ideals. I don’t have a problem with this and joined a sorority with an open mind. My experience has been overall okay. I’ve met some great people and have loved supporting my philanthropy. My only problem is the lack of DEI involvement. A lot of girls from my sorority and other sororities don’t approach me or interact with me because of how I look. My sorority doesn’t really educate our members or talk about diversity months and holidays. We don’t even do much in the ”inclusion” aspect of DEI. I hope that sororities will realize the importance of DEI sooner rather than later. And that DEI doesn’t just benefit people of color, it benefits the entire group. I’m not asking for “woke” Instagram posts and infographics, I just want someone of a sorority exec board to Google “DEI activities and ideas” like once a semester.
