In the span of two weeks, Colorado College has gone from having only two sororities on campus to taking the final steps to invite Tri Sigma to join Greek life at CC. Two weeks ago, National President of Sigma Sigma Sigma (Tri Sigma) Lauren Moran and her team arrived to present their history, core values and vision for expansion onto the Colorado College campus. Dozens of students from Kappa Alpha Theta (Theta) and Delta Mu sororities gathered in Cornerstone Arts Center to hear their pitch. The following Tuesday, the Greek Leadership Council, a group of student executive members from Theta, Delta Mu, Sigma Chi and Kappa Sigma, as well as administrative leaders, gathered to take a vote on whether they would invite Tri Sigma to campus. The vote passed unanimously. Now the only step that stands in the way of Tri Sigma’s addition to campus is an official vote by the Tri Sigma National Council. Tri Sigma was established in 1898 at Longwood University in Virginia.

Your coworker's religious holiday means you work the unpopular shift again. Is that fair?

A workplace accommodates religious observances by asking other employees to cover unpopular shifts. One coworker objects that nonreligious commitments can be equally meaningful but receive less formal protection.

Does equal respect require treating every kind of commitment identically?
