Thank you so much for pointing this out. I hear this all the time. If an organization is meant to serve a particular segment of the population, they are probably going to attract mostly people who belong to that segment of the population. I'm pretty sure on most campuses if you look at the statistics, white students join greek organizations just as often as non-white students.

If there are only 2,000 minorities on your campus, I doubt that there will be chapter sizes of 50-60 for each organization.
