Hi Shalom!!! My view on this topic varies. The problem that I have with white people joining BGOs is that it seems that many of them are trying to fit in. Many white women, that I know, that have pledged black sororities are in interracial relationships and hang around black people. Now I am not generalizing, I am only speaking of those that I have come in contact with. It seems to me that these women are trying to fit into a lifestyle and what better way to do so than join a black greek sorority? I am dating a white and indian male and also have a considerable number of white friends but I did not choose to pledge a white sorority because I did not have any type of love for them in my heart. Nor did I feel that that path was for me as a black woman. If I found a white woman that joined a sorority because of its purpose instead of her friends or boyfriend then I would give them the upmost respect. But as far as I am concerned it is a matter of them trying to fit in where they get in...instead of getting in where they fit in.
