Help build a more inclusive fraternity and sorority community. Register for EDCP 386, a three-credit peer-facilitation course, by August 30, or register your chapter for the seven-week Ten Terp Plan on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion by September 11.
Ten Terp Plan for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
The Ten Terp Plan on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion is a dialogue program aimed at engaging fraternity and sorority members in conversations about power, privilege, and oppression. The Plan offers sorority and fraternity members the opportunity to examine the historical foundations of fraternities and sororities, present-day manifestations of oppression and power within the higher education and fraternity and sorority life contexts, and engages students to explore ways in which they can dismantle existing systems of oppression within their community. The Ten Terp Plan on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion focuses on manifestations of whiteness and racism within fraternities and sororities and on building a racially-just community.
