Same Kind of Different FRATERNITY VALUE: PERSONAL and INTELLECTUAL GROWTH SUGGESTED FACILITATOR: VICE PRESIDENT MEMBER EXPERIENCE same kind of different FRATERNITY VALUE: PERSONAL AND INTELLECTUAL GROWTH SUGGESTED FACILITATOR: VICE PRESIDENT MEMBER EXPERIENCE Goals: • To understand why diversity among participants is important. • To discover how participants are different and similar to each other. • To learn about various diverse populations. Room setup/materials needed: • Make sure you have enough room for participants to sit comfortably • Flip chart paper and markers • Four to five copies of each of the “Quote to Consider” handouts found at the end of this seminar • LCD projector, large screen and computer with internet access. Audio capabilities should also be provided Getting Started Talking points are indicated with a callout bullet (). Please use these as speaking guidelines, but be sure to jazz up the presentation with your own personality. Facilitation instructions are indicated with an arrow ( ) and serve as hints you might find helpful when administering the material. Most importantly, have fun! Instructions and Ground Rules Introduce the activity Why is it important to discuss diversity? How does it affect Pi Beta Phi? How does it affect our university? Today we will learn more about what diversity is and ways to appreciate the uniqueness of each Pi Phi. Begin the conversation by establishing some ground rules and facilitating the opening activity. Let’s establish some ground rules to follow during our discussion. At the end of this seminar, we will review these statements to track our progress and lay groundwork for moving forward. Let’s start with these: o Respect what other people say, don’t interrupt. If you have an issue with what someone says, don’t attack the person, but respond to the issue. o Please don’t use offensive comments/language. o Remember people are entitled to their opinion. What are some additional ground rules you would add to this list? (Use a piece of flip chart paper to write down participants responses.) What is Diversity? Ask the following questions and share the following information to begin the group discussion on diversity. Allow time for participants to respond and record some of the answers on flip chart paper. Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines diversity as, “the condition of having or being composed of differing elements: variety; especially: the inclusion of different types of people in a group or organization.” Diversity can be defined in many different ways: Diversity is a commitment to recognizing and appreciating the variety of characteristics that make individuals unique in an atmosphere promoting and celebrating individual and collective achievement. PI BETA PHI’S MEMBER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM PI BETA PHI’S MEMBER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM Logo Samples for Leading With Values Program ( Font ) Adobe Garamond Pro Bold What are some elements of diversity? What makes us unique? o Have the participants offer suggestions and record them on the flip chart paper. o Examples might include education, culture, race, disability, ethnicity, gender, physical difference, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, political affiliation or language(s) spoken. In an organization like ours we should create a culture where individuals can thrive and contribute to our organization. This is the first step for us in understanding why we’re unique. One of the things we value about our members is our individuality. This means personality, background and all the other elements we listed above. But remember, what we share are our core values: Integrity; Lifelong Commitment; Honor and Respect; Personal and Intellectual Growth; Philanthropic Service to Others; and Sincere Friendship. How does diversity tie into our core values? Which values immediately jump out when discussing diversity? o Allow members to offer ideas and write them on a piece of flip chart paper. Some examples might include: • Integrity: You should stay true to yourself and who you are regardless of your background without conforming to the norm. • Honor and Respect: You should honor and respect other participants despite our differences. • Personal and Intellectual Growth: You should Expand your horizons by learning about others’ backgrounds. • Sincere Friendship: You should accept others regardless of their backgrounds and how you perceive them compared to yourself. Next, break the participants into groups of eight-10 members. Pass out one of the “Quote to Consider” pages to each group. Have the group read the quote, discuss why they agree or disagree and after five-10 minutes. o “One can walk the streets of almost any major city in America and see diversity — but unless you are living, working and playing together with people from varied backgrounds and experiences, you will never fully experience diversity’s most powerful impact. That’s the special — and often lost — opportunity for America’s colleges and universities.” (Richard Light, Harvard professor) o “In total darkness we are all the same, only our knowledge separates us. Don’t let your eyes deceive you.” (Janet Jackson, musician) o “The price of the democratic way of life is a growing appreciation of people’s differences, not merely as tolerable, but as the essence of a rich and rewarding human experience.” (Jerome Nathanson, author) o “The problem to be faced is how to combine loyalty to one’s own tradition with reverence for different traditions.” (Abraham Joshua Heschel, philosopher) After about five-10 minutes of group discussion, come together for large group sharing. Ask participants from the small groups to stand and read their quote, and then summarize what their group discussed. Pi Beta Phi and Diversity Begin the next part of the seminar by highlighting how diversity exists between participants and within the organization. TIP: For this activity, ask someone to assist you by following the instructions below for this activity. Tape down a line in the middle of the room. Let’s take a closer look at how diversity exists within Pi Beta Phi and how each of us is unique. For this activity we have taped a line down the center of the room. When I read out the following traits or experiences to the group, step to either Side A or Side B, depending on which statement more accurately applies to you. If you are unsure, simply remain where you are and wait for the next statement. This activity is to simply illustrate the differences in experiences among participants. This is a silent activity. Step to Side A if you’re a Democrat. Step to Side B if you’re a Republican. Step to Side A if you live with someone of a Step to Side B if you do not live with someone of a different race. different race. Step to Side A if you or your sibling is adopted. Step to Side B if neither you nor your siblings are adopted. Step to Side A if you’ve been to another country. Step to Side B if you’ve never been to another country. Step to Side A if you’re left handed. Step to Side B if you’re right handed. Step to Side A if you’re currently studying a foreign Step to Side B if you’re not currently studying a language. foreign language. Step to Side A if you’re considered a racial minority. Step to Side B if you’re considered a racial majority. Step to Side A if you were born in the north. Step to Side B if you were born in the south. Step to Side A if you attend a religious service Step to Side B if you do not attend a religious service regularly. regularly. Step to Side A if you are friends with a member of Step to Side B if you do not have a friend that is a the gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender community member of the gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender community (Feel free to add other dichotomies to this list.) Thank you for your participation, you may be seated. Here is something to think about: o Every year more than half a million college students are targets of bias-driven or physical assaults. o Every day at least one hate crime occurs on a college campus. o Every minute a college student somewhere sees or hears racist, sexist, homophobic or otherwise biased words or images. If time permits, ask members to return to their small groups and discuss the following questions. These can be written on flip chart paper so all members can easily see them. o How can backgrounds and experiences contribute to/influence our chapter’s membership? o How does respecting our differences help us move closer to living Pi Phi’s core values? o How does disrespecting our differences move us not only away from our values, but each other? Discovering our Differences Three prevalent topics. There are three important diversity issues prevalent in our culture today in media, the news and the culture we interact in every day. These include race, religion and sexual orientation. This is not to say these are the only forms of diversity. Race We have talked about several specific areas of diversity today. One specific topic I would like to discuss is race. Something to remember is, Pi Beta Phi bases our membership selections strictly on women who meet our standards, regardless of race. We are now going to read a short article about an incident that happened on the campus of North Carolina State: http://abclocal.go.com/wtvd/story?section=news/local&id=6490435 Now, return to your small group and discuss the following questions. (You may want to write these on flip chart paper to help participants remember the questions being asked.) o How do you feel about what was written in the Free Expression Tunnel? o Do you think the people that did it should be punished or do you think it is their freedom of speech? o Where should we draw the line? o Legally, what is a hate crime? The Mirriam-Webster Dictionary defines a hate crime as, “Any of various crimes (as assault or defacement of property) when motivated by hostility to the victim as a member of a group (as one based on color, creed, gender or sexual orientation).” Bring the group back together and continue with the next topic.

NPC is unique because we function as a conference of 26 independent organizations and not as an association. The decisions and strategic direction of NPC are established and determined by those 26 organizations collectively and collaboratively, while at the same time allowing for autonomy.
