I don't take a discrimination claim at face value. I need proof of wrongdoing before I jeopardize the reputation of an organization -- something concrete that shows Twilley wasn't given a bid merely because of her race.
Were the girls rude to her? Twilley says no.
Did they ignore her at the rush parties, make her feel ill at ease while she was there, or do anything else to show that she was being set apart from the rest of the rushees? Twilley, again, says no.
If any of those things had happened, then I would be the first to say, "yes, race may have played a part." However, the only "evidence" that we have is Twilley's word that she "thinks" she was discriminated against. I'm not calling her a liar, I just feel that we should hear more of the story - from both sides - instead of taking her claim at face value.
Once again, I'm not saying that race WASN'T the reason for the cut. I'm just saying that people shouldn't automatically jump to that conclusion simply because one person says it is. That's all.

Do you honestly believe that these women are going to come out and say "We discriminated against her, we don't like blacks, and we don't want them in our group".
Honestly, what type of concrete evidence do you want? I sitting here baffled wondering what will it take.
And just so you know, they didn't have to ignore her or treat her with ill will. I'm sure in your life you have had people smile in your face and talk about you like a dog when you turn you back at least once.
Just something to consider.
