UMGirl, I really commend you on making your own decisions and not letting a little slack get in the way of your choices. I went to a predominately white school (96%), and we had two African American women in our chapter. Both of them took a lot of heat for not joining the one NPHC chapter on campus, but they both were happy in our chapter. It's a shame this kind of thing happens, because I met a bunch of African American women working in the Student Union that I would've loved to have as sisters, but most of them were very adverse to doing it. I hope more women, both African American joining NPC and white women joining NPHC, will take chances and give it a try.
