I mean Kathy, can you honestly say that a black person with a strong ethnic upbringing, someone truly conscious about who they and their ancestors are and had much pride, but at the same time was a true lady about it would have the slightest chance of "fitting in" with your sorority??
I'm so glad I found the right fraternity on campus (which isn't black either) otherwise I possibly wouldn't have pledged for anything.

Yes, I definitely DO think women with that background would "fit in" with the chapter of my sorority I was in--I hung out with these women on a regular basis, and they also hung out with the rest of my sorority sisters. We had sisters from all ethnic backgrounds--what I am saying is that SOME of the ladies that were offered bids did not accept them, based solely upon the fact that KD was not a BGLO.
