Through my undergrad chapter we had one white soror come through (this was in the early 90's. And more recently we had a hispanic soror, who was and is a FANTASTIC member.(she has since graduated) And as far as a person, she is the creme of the crop. She was better than some of our AA sorors as far as working for SGRho, her character etc. Now I have never met an openly gay soror, but I would treat her with the same respect I would any soror of SGRho. Now..can I understand those who are totally against whites or gays in their orgs? Yes.. because we all were raised differently, our life experiences, religious beliefs etc. So I do not think that there is a right or wrong answer to this question, it is just a matter of what YOU believe. I do not have a problem with whites or gays in SGRho. But I could easily have a problem with whites being in SGRho, just from my personal experience with white people in general.(So that is why I understand when some have said HELL NO to whites being in their orgs) I have been called *N* B*&%^h by white
people, I have been discriminated more times than I care to remember by white people. And as an undergrad the white sororities had a stepshow, where it seemed as if they were making fun of us, but yet Zeta Tau Alpha stepped on a regualr basis an even won at a Black Greek Stepshow. Also at a GREEK WEEK function (where black and white Greeks were together), after we did our call some white frats had the nerve to repeat our call and laugh. IT TOOK EVERYTHING IN ME AND MY SORORS TO NOT BEAT SOME SERIOUS A##!!!!!!
We had to work with a white male frat...who never returned our calls, so we just said F*&^ it! So...I can see this question from all sides. But I still feel that I have to take it on an indivdual basis or else we could be missing out on some great people. And for those who think this thread should be closed, I do not agree. There is "NOTHING" wrong with expressing your opinion. If the thread gets heated... so what! That is the whole problem with race or homosexuality, people think if we do not talk about it, then it will go away. It won't so it is better to be real and try and deal with it. And at least try and see other people views....you might learn something!
