Political awareness is very important to Phi Nu Xi and it really defines us as a sisterhood.

Is that the same for theta nu xi?

Yep. One of our current board members was key to the early development of our political understanding and action. She is now the Deputy Director for a state democratic caucus. She lives it.

Many sisters also work for recruitment and retention centers on campus. That takes political awareness along with multiculturalism to a new level. I'm doing work for NARRC next semester which is the native american recruitment and retention, another works for Bridges, another for Raza which is a chicano/latino recruitment and retention center another works for the BRRC which is the black recruitment and retention center and others work for Let's Rise...

...Does Theta Nu Xi do that?

Yep. Theta Nu Xi is a sorority of action. We are social in the sense that we are a general/social sorority, but our focuses are scholarship, service, sisterhood, leadership and multiculturalism.

We bring all the different cultures into our sisterhood and we learn from each other and lean on each other for support in our different communities

We don't just say we're multicultural and put on events....we are multicultural. We live and breath it honestly.

In what way have you seen Theta Nu Xi - or any other multicultural sorority - only "say" we are multicultural and not "live and breath [sic] it"?

The only thing that I'm noticing that makes theta nu xi different from a panhellenic is the multicultural aspect.

And this observation is from your experience with Theta Women?

Have you thought of speaking to any sister instead of assuming someone is biting your "style?"

No assumptions. And, by the way, do you even know your organization's true history?
