Description An account of the resource Despite being named No. 3 school in the nation for “best quality of life” in the Princeton Review, minority students at the University of Richmond disagree. Only 12% of the university’s undergraduates identify as African-American, Native American, Hispanic/Latino, Asian or biracial. From the black community on campus, “approximately 40%... receive the University’s CIGNA Scholarship." Many student statements appear in the article that voice veiled frustration with the university’s lack of diversity, which is followed by an example in which a student transfers to a different institution. The lack of support from the university for minority students is glossed over by the university’s statement that "...students express negative feelings their first year because of the tremendous amount of growing they go through.” Although there are many obstacles in the way of students of color, organizations such as the Multicultural Student Union (MSU), International Student Union, Umoja Gospel Choir, Ngoma African Company and many other multicultural groups provide safe spaces for those in need.

The discrepancies within hazing when comparing white greek organizations to black greek organizations were highlighted as students from Alpha Kappa Alpha and Delta Sigma Theta sorority’s continued discussing similar matters after the speech.

Although they admit to failing to receive a bid during rush, they remain confident that their observations are not due to bias. The writer acknowledges the work of co-ed service fraternities but criticizes the model of Greek organizations in general as they lead to “international students… segregating themselves from the rest of campus.” The writer concludes with a wake-up call for students to realize there’s life outside of their individual greek organizations and encourages them to become diverse within their social lives.

Description An account of the resource The chartering of the first Historically Black Sorority at the University of Richmond is garnering attention as eight Westhampton College students diligently work to uphold the name of Delta Sigma Theta. This nationally recognized sorority was established on campus because minority women felt that they needed a space in Greek Life in which “membership is open to all races.” Initially chartered at Howard University, Delta Sigma Theta drew attention with the Five Point Program; educational development, economic development, physical and mental health, and political and international awareness and involvement.
