To support and affirm the sentiments of Resolution 001, the Theta-Psi Chapter of Kappa Sigma will voluntarily suspend all Chapter participation in non-philanthropic campus events for the remainder of the 2019-2020 academic year.
Kappa Sigma prides itself on promoting diversity and inclusion. The diversity of our constituents is one of our greatest strengths. We recognize and would like to acknowledge the mistakes made by individuals affiliated with our organization. While our Chapter was not involved with nor aware of the creation and naming of the Alpha Phifa team, we acknowledge that the use of any offensive or discriminatory term, regardless of intent, by individuals seeking membership into our organization is indicative of the shortcomings of our society regarding multicultural sensitivity and awareness.
We will be working closely with University administrators and student multicultural organizations to inform and educate the members of our Chapter, the Greek community, and the campus community on how to better combat the racism permeating our University.
However, as both a Chapter and individually, we will continue to support our Greek brothers and sisters in their philanthropic endeavors as well as continuing to hold our own philanthropy and service-oriented events both on and off campus.
Moving forward, our Chapter will do everything it can to cast a light on these issues so that, together, we can make Oklahoma City University the diverse, inclusive, and safe environment that it strives to be.
Kappa Sigma is a Greek fraternity on campus.
