PRLog (Press Release) - Feb 26, 2010 -
MINNETONKA, MN, FEBRUARY 25, 2010.  America’s five historically Black fraternities consisting of Alpha Phi Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Phi Beta Sigma, and Iota Phi Theta along with Personnel Strategies Inc. (PSI) announced today a partnership to jointly produce a diversity job board. The job board entitled www.GreekDiversity.com promotes career opportunities to fraternity members across America and will be featured at all fraternity websites including regional and local chapters.  

The www.GreekDiversity.com will showcase employers and opportunities from a cross section of industries and locations. GreekDiversity.com will be one of the few niche job boards that will reach a truly diverse community of over 600,000 fraternity alumni and college students.  

“The GreekDiversity.com job board is a great project. Our fraternity members are excited about supporting this effort and using this tool to improve their career potentials. It will also assist our corporate partners to connect with our unique market of qualified and value driven candidates.” Says Richard Lee Snow Executive Director of Kappa Alpha Psi. “We can finally centralize all our efforts to assist our alumni and student population.”  

Black fraternities are a mainstay in African American Society not just for ethnic fellowship but for initiating changes that effect politics, philanthropy and society as a whole. For employers who share similar commitments to community and society this represents an exceptional opportunity for diversity branding and recruiting.

“PSI is pleased to work in partnership with the fraternities to bring this talent base to employers throughout the country. Our employer clients have often expressed their interest in reaching a professional diversity base. We think this will be a must for all employers serious about diversity. ” states Mike Hall, President of PSI.  

PSI is the nations leading producer of Diversity Job Fairs. In 2010 PSI Job Fairs will be produced in Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Los Angeles, New York, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, and Washington DC. PSI is the only job fair producer selected by the NAACP to brand its events as NAACP Diversity Job Fairs.
