One thing that isn't private is the fact that we don't have "bidding decisions."
None of us can tell people whether race will or will not be a factor in whether they are selected for certain NPC/IFC/LGLO/NPHC chapters. There are informal criteria that are up to the chapter's discretion. If saying you're a Democrat can informally get someone cut in certain chapters, being nowhite can informally get someone cut in certain chapters. All we can do is say "go for it and see what happens." The only racially and ethnically diverse organizations are MCGLOs so people pursuing an org where you (in general) are the minority means that there are a number of reasons why most of the members don't look like you.
