[quote=SWTXBelle;1633666]Then someone pointed out that none had gone through recruitment, which is important if you want to get a bid.[quote]
[quote=WannaB3;]I have never been aproached by the NPC sororities when they are out during pre-rush or freshman orientation. Why? [qoute] I am not the only one to experience this, and I've experienced it on more than one occassion, as rush happens twice a year.
Also SWTXBelle, you need to take into account that when one, as an African American, looks from the outside, they will see a large group of white girls and whether right or wrong, will assume that if I try to come out for these groups I will either A) not get accepted or B) feel like I got accepted to be the "token" or C) Get in, but never feel completely accepted. I coud really want to be a Chi Omega or Tri-Delta but if I don't feel like I can get in or my cultural traditions will be accepted and NOBODY from those sororities enourages me to rush anyway, or talks to me about their organizations, tries to get to know me, etc... then of course not many African Americans will come out to rush.
I have a black friend who is Delta Chi, he happy and I'm happy for him. Granted, on my campus, DX has the most non-white members, so maybe that again has to do with the people they promote too during pre-rush events. I don't know.
