Oh, I wasn't suggesting anything otherwise. Indeed I agree that the only thing influencing these "elite" groups to take minorities was if the prospective members had really influential connections. Race certainly did matter--I was just pointing out that in certain instances other considerations could trump race.
Most of the fraternities at my school did regularly bid minorities (just not the "elite" ones). As did all the sororities...
