Okay, this is going to sound a bit "weird" but on my campus there is a very black, very large woman in an NPC and EVERYONE loves her. She's very well known amongst everyone and very proud of her Nigerian heritage too!
As for me myself, I'm black (not chunky, LOL) but, I'm NPC, I love it. It can get kinda awkward because sometimes I do get dirty looks from other people. It is also sometimes awkward because my organization is honestly very southern and very white but my chapter is VERY not. When I go to State/National events I'm ALWAYS the only other black person there although I have seen other black members in other chapters and there have been a few others in my own chapter more recently. But I didn't join my org. to find other black people. I joined because I liked it. I looked at NPHC and was slightly interested but there were issues there for me and so I followed my heart and rushed and got my top choice.
As a member of my college Panhellenic I'm encouraging you to go through recruitment and even if you decided not to join then you'll still meet so many people. The only way I would not advise you to rush (and I'm just being honest) is if you go to some kind of school where EVERY NPC member looks the same and there is NO diversity except brown hair or blonde hair (which is highly unlikely, but it happens) or some kind of high racial tension school where you'd honestly have the chance of a ice cube in hell (but you never know even still! I mean someone has to be the first). You can always PM me if you want to chat. Hope I helped!
