Just to get my two cents in......
Although I do not know what it feels like to be a black/hispanic/asian women, I do agree that not to many women from that group seem to seek out Greek life. In our sorority we do have two black sisters and one Asian. NEVER have I heard any sister discrimminate or use the term "token" when discussing rush and potential sisters. I feel fortunate that the Greek system on my campus is open to anyone and everyone who wants to experience greek life. I just wish that women who are not caucasion would be more informed about sororities and the fact that at least here in Nova Scotia, there is absolutly no colour or more important, no DISCRMINATION barrier at all!! People join fraternities and sororities for a reason and that is to learn and grow, make friends for life and have fun during their university life. In the year 2001, why would Greeks discriminate and harass?? It just doesn't make any sense to me..and I could get really "riled up" if I continue...so I'll stop!
But many good points from those who have posted!
