Very true - I'd like to think every chapter values diversity but the simple fact is that not all do. People tend to naturally flock to and select others who are similar to them and so groups naturally tend to form into a certain mold or other. There are, of course, exceptions to this but you don't really find this out until you've gone through recruitment and really talked to other people on campus who are familiar with that college's Greek community.
