I don't think it would be a matter of being taken "seriously", because I don't think other Greeks would treat them differently and risk being thought of as racist, and assuming that the racial make-up of the chapter comes from a phenomenon at that school, I would think that other chapters would have similar situations.
I think it would just affect the kind of people that are drawn to the organization at first. I'm sure a few people would be drawn to the novelty of it, and others would avoid it altogether. But again, if this is affecting all of the chapters at that school, then it may not have a major impact on one chapter. Either way, I would hope that people would base their decisions on the national organization and not just the local chapter, which I know that some people do.
I'm pretty sure, however, that this is a very unlikely situation. It's much more likely that the chapter would just go defunct if there was a shortage of that org's "target" group.
