i have a question
 

Hi everyone, I just join greekchat.com and this will be the first message I have ever posted on any message board. First let me give a little background, I am a sophomore at Millsaps College in Jackson, Ms where I am a Phi Mu. I am originally from Tuscaloosa Al. My question is do any of you have African American members of your Phi Mu chapters?

Re: i have a question
 

My chapter was a real "rainbow coalition". We have African American, Asian American, Native American, Hispanic American and European American.

Race and Ethnicity were not a criteria for membership selection, content of a person's character was.

Phi Mu at the University of Florida is one of the few Panhellenic chapters on our campus who do have African American members. I would say about 5 of the 16 Panhellenic chapters have African American members. Every chapter does have a mix of Indian, Spanish/Latino and Asian women. I think that even in the past 5 years being a greek minority has become less and less of a big deal at UF. We do have 4 greek councils at UF, Panhellenic, Interfraternity Council, National Pan Hellenic Council, and the Multi Cultural Greek Council. We have all of the divine 9 representing the National Pan Hellenic Council and many asian and latino Multicultural Greek Groups. While some Panhellenic chapters may not be as accepting, there is a great chapter for every man and women to join at the University of Florida.

Sorry to crash but...
Many of the NPC groups have Black members and the numbers are increasing

True, things are getting better but we still have a ways to go!

Here is a good thread

end crash :D

ETA: Where are my manners? Welcome to GC Tiger! :)

we did at my collegiate chapter, too.......

the thing is, we can't give you a bid if you don't rush :D

My roomie sophomore year in the Phi Mu house was black. We had more Latinas than anything, though.

and we had a lot of Indian-American women. It really does depend on the makeup of your school.
