Main point, UGA is just about as diverse (ethnically and otherwise) as Athens is. No college or university exists outside of its surroundings, unless it intentionally has greater representations of certain groups, although I could not find UGA's demographic breakdown on its website. The photos on UGA's website are probably indicative of the level of ethnic diversity there. *smile*
Either way, I have friends in doctoral programs there and they aren't too impressed with UGA's or Athens' ethnic and income diversity. However, Atlanta has a similar issue with diversity but the difference is that ATL has 300,000 more people and blacks outnumber other races and ethnicities. I happen to like UGA and think this Chi Phi story shouldn't reflect poorly on the University.
