An organization with diverse members can provide a unique learning experience . Students in these organizations have a setting in which to interact with and learn about people different from themselves. American society is becoming increasingly diverse, and students will need to be able to interact with a variety of people. Involvement in student organizations with diverse members is a good place to gain experience in dealing with others. A diverse membership will bring new and different ideas to a group.
Many groups become stagnant and do the same activities year after year.
People who are similar in background and experience tend to think alike. Some groups wonder why certain people do not attend their activities and meetings. Usually it is because the organization does not reflect diverse interests. Having a diverse membership can help attract diverse attendance because various ideas and needs are reflected in the activity or program. An organization will seem more supportive and friendly to someone if they can identify with current people in the group.
