Silence is not an option. The Office of Fraternity and Sorority Affairs at Lehigh University condemns racism in any and all forms. Our hearts are broken for the families of George Floyd, Ahmed Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and the endless list of Black people who have lost their lives to police brutality. Fraternities and sororities have a long and deep history of racism based upon power, privilege, and exclusion that have contributed to the collective trauma we are seeing across the country. It is our responsibility to be an active part of systemic change. As an office, we are committed to supporting all of our students, especially students of color, and join you in saying Black Lives Matter. Now is the time for action. We encourage all councils, chapters, and members to live out their personal and organizational values; use your platform for good, help one another, love one another, show kindness, listen. Whether it is protesting peacefully, donating, signing petitions, or uplifting the voices of Black people, we must confront racism together. Resources will be made available. We are here for you.
