Our hearts go out to the loved ones of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and all other victims of racism and injustice. We are outraged by the wrongful deaths of people of color across this country and we stand with all who are fighting for justice.
As a sisterhood that values equality and kindness, we strive to inspire action in our members and our communities. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” We believe that we have a responsibility to address the injustices that the black community is facing and condemn all acts of racism, bigotry, violence, and hate across the country.
“When we’re not hungry for justice, it’s because we’re too full with privilege.” Though our sisters come from many different backgrounds, races, and cultures, we acknowledge that our membership is predominantly white and largely benefits from white privilege. We are responsible for educating ourselves on these privileges so we can better support members of color in our chapter and community.
It’s time to listen, educate, and speak up.

-TEXT FLOYD to 55156 to demand that all officers involved in George Floyd’s death are charged with his murder.
