Kristina Bland
DEI Chair | blandk@umich.edu
At Phi Delta Phi, we are committed to fostering a community that values and upholds diversity, equity, and inclusion in every aspect of our fraternity. We strive to create a welcoming environment where individuals from all backgrounds feel empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and talents. Through intentional programming, open dialogue, and ongoing education, we aim to address systemic barriers, celebrate diversity, and promote equity within our organization and the broader legal community. By championing these values, we prepare our members to lead with integrity, empathy, and a commitment to justice in their academic, professional, and personal lives.
Promoting Safety and Addressing Sexual Misconduct
The safety and well-being of our brothers are of utmost importance. Through the Sexual Misconduct Response Committee, led by the DEI Chair, we are committed to fostering a secure and supportive environment. The Committee works proactively to educate brothers about how to identify, prevent, and respond to instances of sexual misconduct, ensuring everyone in our community feels safe and respected.
We prioritize continuous education by organizing events and workshops on an intermittent basis to deepen understanding and promote best practices in handling such situations. These initiatives aim to equip our members with the knowledge and tools to address challenges with sensitivity, integrity, and accountability. By fostering a culture of awareness and proactive response, Phi Delta Phi reaffirms its commitment to the safety and trust of its members.
