If it is to big a thing to overcome, then the best thing to do is not join if you do not or will not feel comfortable with it!
If your concern is being dressed in cultural garb, Greek Social life does of course include males.

um ok im definetly confused. i was only raised in two places i was born and raised puerto rico and raised in the united states as well (so no i am not asian) ...i have worn hijab since i was 13 and i wear it all year long so yes jeans and a long tee in summer. i never lived in a muslim country i grew up in a gated community attended private prep school. pretty much everything i do involves me being the only person of color. to me going to the "hood" would be a culture shock(no offense to those who reside there). my religious attire doesnt (its not cultural) doesnt bother me. i love it and am comfortable in any situation i go into. greek social life does involve males i understand. From what i was told by a friend is that if i am active in the chapter with the sisterhood activities , commnity service and fundraisers (if i do end up with a bid) and choose not to go to a toga party or something that no one is going to think of me in a negative light.
but thanks for the reply's thus far
Amirah
