The ladies of Gamma Theta not only come from completely different backgrounds, we all have different interests. We have our party girls, our studious ones, the quiet ones, the carefree ones, the loud girls, the peacemaker, the drama queen etc.
Our majors also span the board. I'm an English & Communications major, we have Nursing, Pre-Med, History, Political Science, Computer Engineering, Bio-Chemical Engineers (this one threw me off b/c the gal who has this major is not what you'd expect a Bio-Chem major to be), Biology, Math, Art, Fashion Design & Merchandising, etc. It's amazing that we have all these differences yet still found something in common to make us sisters.

See, I don't really consider that as diversity. Technically it is, however that type of "diversity" is very common. I've never heard of a GLO or any other social organization that had all or mostly math majors, party guys/girls, etc. In every group and organzation there will be a variety of personalities and interests. There will always be "the quiet girl/guy", "the leader", "the peacemaker" and the like. But how often do you see buddhists, muslims, Christians, and the Jewish in the same group? Or, Nigerians, the Irish, and Guatamalans in the same group?
