For people of color that will be an NPHC, LIFC(latino interfraternal Council) and others. But what org one chooses does not make them a sellout - a sell out is one who forgets their roots and lays in by the wayside in an attempt to get a better opportunity.

I am glad you brought this to light. Some of the replies were not necessarily racist, but insight from another point of view. You will never know what it is like to be a minority until you are one. I did notice references in some of the replies to underlying problems in the minority communties and I really don't think the majority will ever understand that. Take it for what it is worth.
