1. diversity &
Inclusion.
LET'S TALK ABOUT

2. what is
diversity?

3. "People often relate diversity to race
and sometimes gender. I think that's a
pretty narrow view of what diversity
means. It can be ways of thinking and
your intellectual background and
training."

4. diversity is
differences in
racial backgrounds
ethnic backgrounds
socioeconomic status
geographic locations
academic /
professional
backgrounds
religious beliefs
political beliefs
sexual orientations
life experiences

5. what is
inclusion?

6. INCLUSION INVOLVES BRINGING TOGETHER AND
HARNESSING DIVERSE FORCES AND RESOURCES IN A WAY
THAT IS BENEFICIAL.
INCLUSION PUTS THE CONCEPT AND PRACTICE OF
DIVERSITY INTO ACTION BY CREATING AN ENVIRONMENT
OF INVOLVEMENT, RESPECT, AND CONNECTION—WHERE THE
RICHNESS OF IDEAS, BACKGROUNDS, AND PERSPECTIVES
ARE HARNESSED TO CREATE BUSINESS VALUE AND
OVERALL SUCCESS.

7. why does
diversity
matter in our
chapter?

8. enhances all of our
members' social development

Having a diverse chapter

9. a note about
social media

10. AS WE STRIVE TO CREATE A DIVERSE CHAPTER, HAVING DIFFERENT
VIEWS ON POLITICAL AND SOCIAL ISSUES AFFECTING THE WORLD
IS UNAVOIDABLE. AS A CHAPTER, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
OUR MEMBERS DEVELOP CULTURAL COMPETENCE AND ARE AWARE AND
WELL EDUCATED MEMBERS OF SOCIETY. IT IS IMPORTANT TO SPEAK
UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, YOUR IDEAS OPINIONS ARE VALID,
AND WE WANT TO HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. HOWEVER BEFORE
YOU SAY ANYTHING, SEND ANYTHING, OR POST SOMETHING ON
SOCIAL MEDIA, PLEASE TAKE TIME TO EDUCATE YOURSELF AND
MAKE SURE YOU ARE AWARE OF THE IMPACTS BEFORE YOU SPEAK,
TEXT, OR POST. THINGS CAN BE TAKEN THE WRONG WAY OR OUT OF
CONTEXT SO EASILY.
EVERYTHING WE DO REPRESENTS OURSELVES, OUR CHAPTER, PHI MU
NATIONALS, AND THE GREEK LIFE COMMUNITY.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING & PARTICIPATING!
