Good luck! You have a great bunch of sororities to choose from.

Hi JustAGirl!

Not sure that this will help at all but I'm black and in Alpha Omicron Pi so diversity does exist in NPC GLOs! And the Alpha Gamma Delta at my school has 2 darker skin girls in it, Gamma Phi Beta has some black girls etc etc etc! Don't think that your ethnicity will necessarily hold you back b/c it won't! Good luck w/ rush and I can't wait to hear how it all goes for you!

Representing the "darker hued" Alpha Phis here.;) Granted, I didn't become an Alpha Phi during recruitment, but to quote the Color Purple, "I'm Here!" :D

Your race is never a "strike" against you. If someone else sees it that way, then that's their damage. Be yourself and HAVE FUN! We're rooting for you!

Amen!

Besides, if you did come across a backwards organization that judged you, you wouldn't want to be there anyway. I am sure you'll be plesantly suprised by the wonderfully accepting people you meet during rush. Best of Luck! :)

Woohoo another rush story!!! :D

Now tell me more about this pink and black dress - pink is my favorite color and I would be happy to have another dress! ;)

I hope that SigkapAlumWSU chimes in on this thread, as she could comment with 1st hand knowledge as to what the socio-political climate is like at WSU.

Welcome to GreekChat, Justagirl!!

With what you've said, and how you've said it, I think you'll be an asset to any sorority that's lucky enough to get you!

Good luck - may you get the house you love and may you love the house you get!

ETA: there are African-American ladies in ADPi, one precious active currently in my chapter!

I am an African American that is a Sigma Kappa. I am living proof that diversity is in NPC.

Plus if some judge on your race it will be their loss and someone else's joy.

good luck :D

One heart, One way

Charter a multicultural sorority to your campus if you are worried about it...

hi!

I just PMed you!

Alpha Gams definetly have diversity because I'm Asian, one of our recent alums is black, and i've met women of all color in AGD. horrah for you rushing!

just BE yourself! thats THE best bit of advice.

WSUSigKap might be quiet due to this warning:

My life, Washington State is a good state, and IMO a great place for IR couples, but there are not many black folx there...

I think JustAGirl and I are the only ones here right now! :D

Okay, thank you for that heads up.
In my experience from visiting the state of Washington, I have never known it to be a hotbed of racism, so I think justagirl06
should be fine and not be overly concerned about being cut for racial reasons.

This is one of my best girl friends
Sigma Kappa is more diversified than any organization on our campus
My other best friend is rushing this fall at Washington U so don't be afraid. . .she did research on each sorority to find out if they were prejudice and she found out that she stood a chance just like anyone else
So just show them how fun, serious, and involved in sorority you want to be
And you're sure to get in


P.S. Don't make the mistake like me. . .and be shy. They'll think that you don't like them.

A girl after my own heart! NORDSTROMS. :D I am in so cal so i don't know WA state very much except it is beautiful...... but you seem to be on the right track be it clothes or rush! Don't worry and be yourself!
