FAQs

What makes your organization multicultural?

Our Founders saw a need for a sorority that crossed the societal boundaries of race, religion, culture, and class. Although part of their vision included creating a sisterhood that physically exemplifies multiculturalism, the primary goal was to bring together women who believe in the ideal of multiculturalism and want to promote multiculturalism in their everyday lives. 

​

What purpose does Theta Nu Xi serve?

The objectives of Theta Nu Xi are to incorporate separate cultures into one life, to build self-esteem through sisterhood, to participate in service activities—especially those concerning diversity in the community, to encourage academic success and overall self-improvement, and to promote unity among fraternal organizations.

​

Is Theta Nu Xi part of a Greek Council?

We are a member of the National Multicultural Greek Council (NMGC). At the local level, our undergraduate chapters are most often members of the Multicultural Greek Council (MGC) or its equivalent on their campuses. In the absence of a MGC or equivalent council, our chapters may hold associate membership in their schools panhellenic council or its equivalent pursuant to council and school policies.

​

What is GAP?

GAP is the graduate, alumnae and professional program of Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority Inc. Members are currently pursuing graduate degrees, are professional women with at least a baccalaureate degree, or transition as alumnae members of the Sorority, having joined through an undergraduate chapter. 

​

Why GAP?

GAP women strive to promote the ideals of our sorority among graduate students, alumnae, and professional women; to unite women of various cultural backgrounds; and, to promote awareness of multicultural and social justice issues. Membership in GAP chapters and colonies provides an incredible network of sisters across the world who are pursuing professional careers and lifestyles. As more and more sisters enter the professional realm, GAP has become a crucial element to this sorority. There are more than 20 GAP chapters and colonies across the country, as well as At-Large chapters serving sisters not geographically close to a chapter, but still seek involvement.  GAP is different from the undergraduate experience as it allows for more of a focus on the professional development and personal support of individual members during a time when many life-changing decisions are made  marriage, children, home ownership, graduate school, career advancement, etc. GAP allows you a chance to be a mentor for undergraduate sisters.

​

What is your pledge process like?

Similar to other Greek letter organizations, we keep our membership intake and initiation rituals private. The Sorority has a standard membership recruitment process and a membership education program during which aspirants learn about the history and values of Theta Nu Xi. Aspirants will also participate in activities designed to cultivate the lasting bonds of sisterhood. The program is designed to provide women with the knowledge, skills, and support to develop their leadership skills and to contribute to the Sorority.
