I think it's probably difficult for any black woman to get a 100% fair rush in the South or parts of the Midwest, partly due to the fact that 99% of rushees are white. I went to a Big 12 with a very active Greek system and only recall 3-4 black rushees coming through while I was on the chapter side of rush. They all got bids to decent houses.
On the campus where I was an active member being non-white actually helped a PNM, though that in itself isn't really fair to them. But very few non-white PNM's go through recruitment every year. And my campus is in the deep south.
