As an organization founded on diversity, we thrive on a solid base of multicultural understanding and awareness that includes distinctions across race, class, and sexuality. The sisterhood cultivates high levels of openness, acceptance, and collaboration with individuals and organizations as well as promoting cultural sensitivity by educating our respective communities about living in a varied society. Diversity is a core component of Omega Phi Chi as a multicultural sorority that was established by eight women of Asian, African-American, and Latina descent. Our Founding Mothers passed on a tradition of building understanding and acceptance across all cultural distinctions and levels of difference. In founding a multicultural sorority, they acknowledged the need to respect and celebrate our cultural differences while appreciating the common bonds we share as women.
