believe in a "Diversity of Religious believes!

In reply to the above post:
I feel that we are fairly diverse but that we can work on it more!
My chapter is very diverse mostly because the university is!
Different religions, nationalities, cultures, sexualities, rationals,
economic standings,... are represented in our chapter! However, I have
seen chapters that are all one sex and all one race or other such examples!
So, we can give each other a pat on the pat for the level of Diversity that
does exist but we must not be too comfrontable. There is still a large amount
of room for improvement!
