Congratulations to your niece for getting accepted at Spelman! She will join a wonderful legacy of woman if she chooses to attend. AKA_Monet could speak to this more since she pledged at Spelman, but as a Spelman alumna, I can tell you she will not be the first biracial student at Spelman, nor the first to join a sorority at Spelman. Spelman is a sisterhood like no other and she should focus on getting aclimated to the Spelman sisterhood before thinking about a sorority. Freshwomen (as we used to call them when I was a student) cannot join a sorority anyway, so she will have plenty of time to observe and learn about the sororities on campus.
Good luck to your niece. If she decided to attend, I may meet her later this summer! They have a time during Orientation Week for alumnae to come back and share the history of the College and how things were "back in the day". I have not been in about 2 years, and I am looking forward to attending this year!
