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.
Point taken. I'm not sure if there are any women of color currently in my particular chapter, but there certainly has been some!
