Please keep in mind that this article is old, 2000 i believe and it takes place at a southern school. I like to think that this would not happen on most campuses.
Im not trying to insult any one (or group) by posting this article. I just wanted to contribute it to the discussion.

A very similar event happened at my school, Texas A&M, when I was a senior UG in 1991. An NPC sorority extended a bid to an African American woman, through a COB event I think, and half the chapter split. One half of the chapter wanted to give her a bid, the other half threatend to turn in their pin if the AfAm got the bid. I don't remember what came of it, but in the end I don't think that chapter is at A&M anymore.
Honestly, I think in the end campus climate has much to do with it. Because quite honestly, back in the day (pre-MIP), I probably would not have joined a UG NPHC org had I attended certain HBCUs - the hazing done was ridiculous!!
