I would prefer to see her at a smaller school, HBCU or whatever, but I wouldn't like to see her not get into a sorority b/c she is half white.
I don't want to sway her choice, but I do think she should be aware that she might not get accepted in a BGLO. I know it shouldn't be the deciding factor in her college decision, but I do think it is worth considering.
Please do not spread this nonsense on to your niece. It's NOT worth considering because it NOT true. Skin color or the fact that she is of mixed races will not exempt her from membership. Period.
