Antiracism Clause

Racism is defined as “a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.” Antiracism can be defined as “a belief or doctrine that rejects the supremacy of one racial group over another and promotes racial equality in society.” This definition extends to also recognize the prevalence of racism in various institutions and the active combat of racial prejudice and discrimination in order to advocate racial justice and equality. With the recent adoption of NAACP as our National Philanthropy, it is imperative to reflect on our own commitment as members to our organization’s foundation of uniting women regardless of race, religion, or creed.

The acceptance and modeling of antiracist behavior through action and education endorses our organization’s growth during this progressive era. Each year, all active members of Mu Sigma Upsilon Sorority, Inc. sign this racism clause to indicates the member’s dedication to adhere to this acceptance within and beyond the organization. As informed members, we may engage in antiracist educational workshops on a chapter, district, national, and community level, contributing to our goal to be active in the university and community. Additionally, it is understood that any racist or discriminatory behavior (beyond the basis of race) will be subject to severe disciplinary actions up to suspension/termination of membership. All allegations racist/discriminatory behavior will be reviewed and investigated by appointed Judicial Board advocates.
