My mother graduated from the campus (SIUC) ladygreek was referring to, and I am currently the Greek advisor at it's sister campus (SIUE). More than likely the situation was one of blatant discrimination in the 1960s. My mother graduated from there in 1957, and has told me about how in the one women's dormitory, the African American women were required to live on one floor. She also said that African American males weren't allowed to live on campus at that time. This was only about 10 years prior to when ladygreek mentioned.
