As was mentioned earlier in the thread, fraternities and sororities in the south display and showcase the tops of Southern society, people who have been at the top for quite some time. Way before the abolishment of slavery. Old money. That's what fraternities and sororities are in the south. For the most part, have you ever met an African-American that was old money? That is to say, rich before the 1900's? Have their parents been involved in southern white fraternities since then? I would assume they had not. This is what they lack to get into southern fraternities. It is not a question of integration, it is a question of status.
