On May 9, 2009, Members of Onyx, Cipatli and Oracle Honors society gathered together for their annual BBQ. For many students in the Onyx class of 2010, this was the first encounter with another honors society on campus. Cipatli is a Latino Honors society dedicated to academic excellence and enriching the Latino Community, while Oracle recognizes students of Asian Pacific descent who exemplify leadership at Penn. Much of the afternoon was spent socializing with new people and meeting our counterparts in the other organizations. Interestingly enough, most of the people I met were individuals I seen before during my time at Penn. It was great to catch up with old faces and now have something in common to talk about. In short, this is probably one the main purposes of this event. It shows us that in addition to Onyx, there are other organizations on Penn’s campus who share a similar goal of advancing the minority community. The event was a great success, and I look forward to see what comes of these groups in the future both individually and collectively.
