Ohio State students, administrators and alumni will unveil and dedicate the National Pan-Hellenic Council Plaza Saturday morning.
At an informal gathering with reporters Thursday afternoon, Shivers , who is Ohio State University's senior vice president for student life, kept her back turned to the new National Pan-Hellenic Council Plaza on the university's South Oval. She didn't want to see it and spoil the surprise for Saturday's official unveiling ceremony.The students there with her couldn't blame her, though.
All nine organizations in the council have charters at Ohio State: Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc.; Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.; Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc.; Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.; Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.; Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.; Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.; Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc.; and Iota Phi Theta Fraternity, Inc.
Plazas like these recognizing National Pan-Hellenic Council organizations, often called plots, are commonplace at historically Black colleges and universities. But at predominately white institutions like Ohio State, Booth said, it can be harder for Black students to see spaces for themselves like this.that creating spaces for Black students to find community is not a focus for many predominantly white institutions.
Now, students walking from the Ohio Union to Mirror Lake will pass by the plaza and see themselves represented on campus.
