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 don't believe the hype... Your niece would be FINE at and HBCU OR if she expressed interest in a D9 sorority. Bi-racial does not = NON black. AND D9 or HBCU does not = NON blacks are not welcome... Biracial, mutliracial, whatever!
I'm still lost on the whole arguement of what is "black", "white", or "latina" enough. Sounds like you need to feel comfortable in your own skin IMO. I have many Sorors that are bi-racial, mutli-racial, white, latina, and on and on....
