I don't think that it's really so much of a greek issue as it is a general issue. I've honestly only got a few black friends and many of them I've lost touch with since we went seperate ways in college. I don't think it's for reasons of hatred or anything of that sort, I think it's a comfort thing. My friends always were knowing that they were welcome into any circle I was apart of, be there 30 or 0 other blacks, but I think many feel more comfortable associating with people more like them. To be honest, the majority of my friends are white males, as am I. The question I think could extend out to other ethnicities such as those of mexican decent, arab decent, and asian decent. Now while I'eve more asian friends than the others I think the general concern is that most people don't like to cross barriers self-imposed or not, and comfort is preferred to chance. that's just my view, but as I've said, I think it extends well beyond the greek system, but to the general nature of people themselves.
