Again, it depends upon the school and the chapter. My own chapter has had women of varying cultures and color, as have many other chapters at Pitt.

I would suggest that your friend would look at her school of choice's website, and at the varying sorority chapters there. Without knowing the school, there is really no other advice to give, other than this: recruitment is not to be taken lightly under ANY circumstance. If she is cut, it could just as easily be because she did or said something wrong as anything else. Make sure that she reads the Recruitment threads prior to plunging into rush!

That doesn't always help. For some time, I heard comments about people saying we were the "white" sorority... and we weren't doing it on purpose. Didn't help that another chapter was emphasizing diversity in their chapter. The chapter isn't so "white" anymore and we got a few really great, diverse additions to the chapter. I don't think we ever really made a big deal about it or hard-rushed non-Caucasian girls, cuz color didn't really matter.

It depends on the campus, but my advice is to tell her to just go and rush and see how she feels. Tell her to keep an open mind and go with what she feels comfortable with... not necessarily who is more diverse or whatever. Somtimes appearance isn't always what it is.
