Clearly there remains some negative sediment torwards whites joining college chapters and Latinos are becoming more involved as time progress. I really haven't seen much on asians. What lingers in my mind is the possibility of discrimination still existing. Is it common? Any thoughts?
Just as a sidenote, I know of a couple of Asian Deltas.

To actually answer the question, I think it really just depends on the culture of the campus/region and the attitudes of the individuals in the chapter. I don't think that collegiate vs. alumnae/grad is going to make too big a difference in this.
