And, in Twilley's case, if NPC had given a reason for her cut, it would set a precedent for anyone else down the road who voices a complaint about the way their Rush turned out.

2) It's not that it's hard to believe that Twilley wasn't picked up because she was black. All I'm saying is that we simply don't know the real reason why, so why should we jump to the most sordid conclusion and drag the reputation of several national Greek organizations through the mud without any proof whatsoever that racism occured? Why does everyone automatically assume that the NPC sororities are to blame? To me, THAT seems a little prejudiced.

Dzroses - I don't recall anyone saying that NPC sororities were to blame nor drag the reputation of several national greek orgs through the mud. However if the shoe fits........


Now back to the topic at hand......
The discussion that has taken place here proves to me that right now a lot of members of various greek orgs ARE NOT ready to be truly 50/50 or diverse. (And for the record, one person of a different racial group DOES NOT make your org diverse!)
In order for an org to be a family (like your real family) one has to be able to talk and have frank conversations, and not pussy-foot or skate around certain issues. I believe that just like your real family, you must share common goals, backgrounds, beliefs, and most importantly love for that other person. If Twilia was my real sister, I would support her, even though I might not agree with her. You have to ask yourself if you could do the same for sprprity sister as well.
