God, honey just rush. If they like YOU they like YOU! It's sometimes akward but when you're sisters you really learn to see everyone the same (you really do) and it's never been a big deal for me. I joke about it all the time, too! There are pictures from when I was a collegiate where I'm in the middle and it's just me and I laugh at it, or when people take pics without flash and it's dark so I have to point it out to turn on the flash or I won't show up so good. I find it funny and no one's ever been cuturally insensitive or anything.

And thankfully I was pretty comfortable with the background of my org. before I joined because it's heavily Condefederate. But it is all in the past so I didn't focus on it. (Except when I want to make my chapter Pres. uncomfortable and then I make jokes for days!)

I also had one of those moments when someone was trying to describe me in front of me and I was like "OMG! Say it, I'm black BLACK!" We all laughed so hard. It's just never bothered me at all. But it did help that my chapter was majority hispanic so the white girls are the minority and we teased them for always being together everywhere!

The only problem I've found is when you do things with OTHER chapters. Because you stick out like a sore thumb. But you are proud to be different even then. (Plus pretty much everyone at my chapter stuck out at those things...I have a funny story about my chapter at an LC and some Omega Psi Phis, lemme know if you want me to post!)
