This is individual and not institutional but obviously discrimination still exists in every facet of life, sadly sometimes even in Greek Life.
I hear you.

I will admit it took me awhile to fully embrace my White sorors. But now I do with no problem--at least those that are working for the sorority (but then I don't embrace any soror that are not working.)

But the funny thing is I never had a problem embracing those of other ethnicities from jump. Maybe it was a person of color thing. Go figure.
