Community Compact
Accepted Society is an inclusive community for all people: regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, ability, socio-economic status, sexuality, gender expression, gender identity, neurodiversity, political ideology, or relationship to the academy.
In order to foster a sense of connection among our members, there are many forms of communication between individuals including: themed nights, writing workshops, happy hours, accountability workshops, etc. In those events members have the opportunity to connect through spoken and written communication (in the form of private and direct message)
Additionally, we understand that as we build our social network, members may interact with one another through mediums outside of Accepted Society sponsored events, such as personal social media channels and email. We ask that you always carry yourself as a positive representation of what we stand for here at Accepted Society.

Understand that the Accepted Society team wants nothing more than to help foster your growth and well-being, but we are not trained psychologists or therapists. If you need resources, consider checking out Psychology Today as a first step.
Please keep in mind that our communication channels are open to all members of our social network. Although we do our best to monitor our Accepted Society controlled channels, we cannot control communications through direct message or email. Therefore, if you feel uncomfortable about an exchange with another member, we ask that you bring the situation to our attention by emailing admin@acceptedsociety.com.
