Legally, sure. Ethically? Morally? I don't agree with it. Particularly when it goes against the values of the organization...but when your organization says it welcomes women of all races and creeds (as mine does) you should follow that.

Intelligent thinking and honest people would not based any decisions on skin color. Especially if an interest shows characteristics that the D9 seeks.
Aren't you admonishing us for making our own organization's choices?
Do you really think that most non-African Americans stroll up to our "areas" and say they are interested?
Couldn't it be that folks of a different ethnic group automatically are interacting or hanging out with African Americans and feel much more comfortable in this setting and decide to pursue a membership?
Since NIC/NPC membership drives are inherently different and we do not actively recruit members, and our membership intake extends joining invitations to college graduates, then by default, one who wants to pursue membership would have to take a completely different course of action than what is done in traditional greek organization.
So, when you say to us "tsk tsk on you D9, you have irresponsible individual members", how do you think that belittling makes us feel?
