ONE CULTURE, ANY RACE

“One Culture, Any Race.” This paradigm accurately describes Omega Delta Phi’s philosophy of inclusion. While founded primarily by Latinos at Texas Tech University, Omega Delta Phi has always found itself in the position of appealing the people of many races and backgrounds. Race is a limiting concept that forces people of a nationality and/or color into preconceived roles and expectations. However, people of the same ethnicity can be different as night and day in their beliefs and ideals. A culture, however, is defined by a set of shared ideals, traditions, and values. Omega Delta Phi’s culture exceeds ethnicity and race and is created through brotherhood.

The men of Omega Delta Phi are founded on the concept that in order to truly grow as an individual, one must experience views which can challenge preconceived perceptions to foster growth and enlightenment. “One Culture, Any Race” is a challenge to the closed minded to look beyond race and ethnic pride. It’s a philosophy that suggests the coexistence of various races.
