Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

TCU is not known for diversity—most of the student body is Anglo-American. However, despite the lack of ethnic diversity on campus, the student body is open-minded, and students can’t recall any significant cases of racial prejudice at TCU. Many groups are working to increase diversity organizations on campus by forming special interest groups and Greek organizations.

Diversity is an area that has a lot of potential at TCU. Organizations such as the student-led Inclusiveness Task Force (ITF), cultural support groups, and numerous programs offered through Intercultural Education and Services, show that TCU is taking steps in the right direction in order to make campus more diverse. While TCU strives for a more diverse campus, the student body, and faculty alike are contributing to the effort by creating more and more organizations that continue to open everyone’s eyes.

TCU Community

TCU has a very diverse community. There are people here from all over the world. No matter what your interests are, or what you look like you will have a place at TCU. The entire TCU community is very accepting of everyone, and their is no judgement. It is like one big family around here, but we are all unique.

Diversity Is Noticable but Not Exactly Overwhelming

TCU is home to plenty of different kinds of people but the majority of the student body is pretty normal (for lack of a better term). Greek life is a big part of student life and that's quite obvious just by walking around campus. The typical male TCU student is a clean-cut white individual who dresses well and whose family has money. The typical female TCU student is an attractive blonde/brunnete with a similar persona as their male counterparts. I'm not saying that this is a negative characteristic about TCU but the lack of diversity is definitely noticable.

Facts

Gay Pride

There is a TCU chapter of eQ Alliance, which meets regularly throughout the year and sponsors some events.

Political Activity

There are various groups at TCU that allow students to voice their political views. The Young Democrats and Young Republicans meet regularly, as does the Peace Action Committee, which also hold protests and demonstrations throughout the year. These groups exist and function effectively, but they see relatively little participation from the bulk of the student body.

Economic Status

The TCU student body is generally made up of people from either upper-class backgrounds, or from upper-middle-class backgrounds—along with a good deal of scholarship students.

Most Common Religions

Christianity is obviously very prominent at TCU, but other religions are met with tolerance. There are many youth groups from various churches that have frequent meetings on campus for students.

Minority Clubs on Campus

The International Student Association (ISA) is a prominent club on campus, helping international students ease into American life. The Asian Student Association (ASA) is also a functioning club, as are Students for Asian-Indian Cultural Awareness (SAICA), the Organization for Latin American Students (OLAS), and the African Heritage Organization (AHO).
