No need to shred it. The message will self-destruct in 5..4..3...

Expanding on my previous post:
I think I am wary of mingling of the councils in this way because it's very difficult to divorce yourself from your council's way of doing things. I remember a few years back, my alma mater had an "all Greek symposium" to encourage interaction between the councils. Many of the suggestions that were brought up were basically "IFC/NPC-ing" the other groups' traditions. That doesn't always work.
I think that having a natural fallout is much better. Instead of having (in tld221's words) diversity day and OMG SHOWING OFF OUR 8 BLACK PEOPLE, different groups should consider participating in other groups' events or philanthropies if they want to be known as inclusive. Seeing Tri-Deltas helping out with a Delta voter registration drive (for example) would hopefully seem genuine and not cause an aspirant to give the organization a side-eye.
