Let’s work together to make a change!!
by: positiveI’ve noticed that a lot of chapters have simply gone back to a cute “aesthetic” on their instagram, and are no longer posting about the what’s going on in our world. Come on, Panhellenic community, we can do better!! Let’s work hard and make a change and make the Greek system more welcoming to people of color. Shout out to the chapters that continue to provide resources and are more focused on making a change than a cute aesthetic :)

Honestly social media people probably only have so much control over what they post. These are the girls who are qualified to use presets on pictures, that really doesn’t make them qualified to preach the causes and effects of systemic racism. Most girls in sororities seem to be using their personal social media platforms to uplift black voices and share petitions to help make changes right now, but I feel like girls who were picked to post cute pictures have no idea how to tackle the issue of racism on Instagram

To add to that, our chapters need to work on ensuring an officer position or committee that works towards education for the chapter as a whole. I think it’s more important to make change within the chapter than to post their performative activism on Instagram

You are correct, but there’s always room for change and growth. The PR chair can reach out to advisors, headquarters, and other girls for help and education on things to post. Some chapters even have a diversity chair/ committee who can help!! There’s always room for growth, and the person running the social media took on the responsibility to represent their chapter positively. I definitely agree that the girls running social media only have so much control, but again, that’s where growth and education come in to play!! We need to step up as Greek life to spread resources and awareness :)

Greek life at OSU is predominately white, which can be off putting to people of color. Anyone with eyes can see that...
