Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha Alpha A National Honor Society for FirstGeneration College Students Dear friends and colleagues of TriAlpha The leadership at TriAlpha and many of our chapter advisors are disturbed at the legislation being recommended and approved in various states across the country which diminish or ban the teaching scholarship and practices of diversity equity and inclusion so important in today39s world. The barriers that have prevented equitable and inclusive practices in admissions teaching learning and student support over the years have been chipped at little by little to allow better entrance retention and graduation rates across the nation for underrepresented groups now those barriers are being put back into place or reaffirmed in ways that we simply cannot support. We understand that some of our institutions may be challenged to remain members of TriAlpha without the use of institutional funds. The logical move is for chapters in these positions to lay the cost of membership completely at the feet of their students who wish to join.
