Diversity in the SEC

[DrPhil]

Yet Zeta Phi Beta is non-coincidentally predominantly women of the African diaspora. I wonder how that happened. That founder who made that statement was probably not pushing diversity as a must have in order to sustain or improve Zeta. If that was her goal, some would argue that a predominantly African diaspora GLO has defied the founders' visions. That Zeta founder was perhaps stating an unofficial anti-discrimination clause and expressing the value and potential membership of women across race and ethnicity. Zeta is not the only NPHC GLO with an unofficial or official anti-discrimination clause. And Zeta is not the only NPHC GLO that remains non-coincidentally predominantly Africa diaspora even with that clause.

Most of the NPC groups had official non-discriminatory clauses--even from the beginning. BUT--so much segregation is implied. For example--many of the 26 NPC sororities were founded in the late 1800s/early 1900s when there wouldn't be any black women at a PWI in the south or Midwest.

I'm not pushing for diversity for either council. People will hang out with who they want to hang out with.
