“Whoopstock is a great event to promote diversity and teach people more about the different cultures that are around here at A&M,” said Fren-Mark Banes, a junior civil engineering major. “It’s great to see open-minded people come out to learn and have fun at the same time.”
These groups promote cultural awareness through brotherhood or sisterhood. Delta Xi Nu and Beta Xi Chi are two multicultural organizations that promote awareness through community service and various events. Both of these groups have members of different ethnic backgrounds. Little is known about many of these groups because of low publicity and therefore, have few members.
Chi Upsilon Sigma, a hispanic sorority and Delta Kappa Delta, an Indian sorority, are fairly new to A&M. Asian sorority Rho Delta Chi and Asian fraternity Beta Tau Omega are two organizations that are constantly growing and are slowly getting more recognition.
To embrace true diversity at A&M, one must learn to accept differences in race and in diversity of thought. These multicultural organizations on campus are trying to promote who they are and what their culture is all about.
