In examining our chapter, I cannot help but notice how very few minorities
we represent. The overwhelming majority of us are white. We have almost
no Asian student, and do not have any African-Americans. (We actually had
two African=American people pledge this past semester, but both of them
de-pledged).
I've never thought of our chapter as being discriminatory toward any
group; I have always felt that we have welcomed everyone who wants to be a
part of our organization. And I know that many others in chapter feel the
same way that I do. Yet we are so culturally undiverse.
What can we do as a chapter to increase diversity among our brothers?$

earthly effort to find words. Wrap me in the splendid aura of thy
multifarious radiance and lift me up on high into the loving clasp of all
creation." - Robert Schumann
