I'm quoting myself so you can see what was actually there. "Some chapters" is the language used. I think you agree.

It depends on the campus, though. At some universities diversity is key, and non-white PNMs going through recruitment with mostly white fraternities or sororities would have a VERY good chance of being chosen. And yes, at some, that would keep them from getting a bid. I am betting that there are chapters at those two extremes and many in the middle at every campus and agree that a non-white PNM would not likely be interested in rushing a chapter that would be discriminatory. It is no different from a girl with purple hair and 18 peircings not feeling comfortable at BarbieSorority which outlaws piercings and unatural hair colors. It does not mean it is right, but it is reality. Just like in the real world, there will always be groups who discriminate based on race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.

It is also true that sometimes very few non-white PNMs participate in NPC or IFC recruitment at some schools. At mine this is true. Our chapters are not likely to be discriminatory because of the campus atmosphere, but almost every single PNM is white.

I didnt join to make friends. i had plenty b4 i joined. i joined cuz i wanted to be part of an organization making a difference in the community, and to be around a bunch of educated brothers who had the same goals in mind. i dont even really party with my Frat brothers or sorors like that. i still party wit my pplz from hs & college waaaaaaaaaaaaay more. and i guess also to network with successful brothers.

How about we clear this up real quickly. I'm Asian. I'm a part of SigEp, the largest fraternity in America as far as undergrads go, and yes it is an IFC fraternity. Is that a problem? Not at all, there are quite a few Asians in my chapter, and in the other IFC fraternities on campus. Then again UCSD is 50% Asian so go figure. Are the Asian fraternities worth looking into as well? Hell yea, those are some really cool brothers as well.

As for the rush process, it is the same as any other place where you're going to be interviewed.
Is it true that America, the greatest country in the world is comprised and was built upon its diversity? Yes.
Did America endure a period of slavery and extreme bigotry? Yes.
Is America still racist today? Sadly yes.

That's how it goes. I wish I could say that America is prejudice free, but of course it isn't.

So back to the OP's question of being Asian affecting his rush process, or swearing upon the Bible. It MIGHT affect you, but in reality it really shouldn't. You should join the fraternity that you feel the most welcomed and most comfortable in. Then you'll be with the brothers that truly respect you the most. Best of luck to ya.

That's cute.
