I've talked to a lot of girls of all races regarding this topic. What I found is that a lot of girls like to be around people that are more like them. Rather they go by race, personality or interests, people want to have something in common with the sorority they belong to because it is a lifetime commitment. Also there is a lot of history involved in sororities and girls want to be able feel their "peoples" history within the sorority they join.
