I think it's just a matter of "different strokes for different folks". It all depends on where you are happy and where you fit. The majority of my Greek friends of my race are NPHC but they don't give me flack about my choice. They actually hugged me when I found out I got a bid because they knew I'd found an organization I clicked with.
Currently I am the only African American in my chapter, but we have several alumnae who are. Other chapters on campus have women of different ethnicities in them, and I actually see a growing number of culturally diverse women becoming interested.
With regards to diversity, I'm also proud to say that I have a disability and that I was honestly at fisrt more concerned about that than my race. I never thought my race was a factor or issue.
anyway-In terms of other types of diversity, EVERY chapter on my campus just happens to have members of varying physical ability levels and think that is just as amazing as the racial diversity here.

Amen to that! I may pledge but I have the same dillemma. I'm looking at several groups both NPC and NPHC and feel like if I do join an NPC I'll be seen as werid or "selling out". Has anyone been called that? (mostly black pledging white?)
