I'm only responding due to a pet peeve of mine.

History has illustrated that major movements and legal action had to happen to cause the segeration walls around many state and private institutions to fall and provide admidance to those long worthy that were not "white."

However, many other walls fell before this point and continue to fall. College educations were for the wealthy. Universities in the Americas initially were religious based to education new ministers.

If you look at the Histories of many of the 80-100+ sororities you'll find that many of their founders were the first women on campus. They united in a sisterhood because they were under represenatite, and found strength in numbers. We as females still have a long battle. We make up over 50% of the population in the United States, yet only recently have we even begun to gain respect at the University and professional levels. You still see women who acheive high position considered a bitch to get to the position rather then the skilled business tactics of her male peers. Remeber it was still in the last 20 years that women were considered going to college to get thier mrs. degrees rather then their B.A., B.S., M.S. M.B.A., etc degrees.

What this has to do with the topic. Well.. instead of quibbling over who's sorority is for who - We should cherish the histories of all those in the greek life that have gone before us in sacrifice. Respect each others organizations and beliefs. And provide oppertunities to the future to young women to choose which sistershoods give them the support and love they deserve regardless of their hertitage.

Easy in word, difficult in deed.
