You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine.
You can think what you want about me and "some people get angry when you say that, or deny it to the fullest, but that doesn't mean it isn't true."
If you thought I was some clueless little girl looking for justification or sympathy then you're wrong.
I'm a strong young woman with a drive to succeed.
I am interested in GLOs in general.
I simply asked a question. ( and yes it was a question )
It was not a statement of my general ideas and/or hopes in a sad attempt to obtain a response conducive to my dreams.
And as for racism being present in the South, I agree. I know. I live here. I also know that racism isn't just something shown by white people... (hint hint)
I know who has accepted me, and you CANNOT sit there and tell me that my life experiences are BS when you DO NOT know me.
My mother (who is black) experienced the same thing.
She went to the same high school.
The people she went to school with parented the people I go to school with.
It seems that some people prefer the stereotypical black person, and that's sad.
Now you can say whatever you'd like in response to this, and frankly, I don't care.
In my opinion, you're not here to help. You're here to justify your beliefs, as you think I am.
I wish you all the best.
PS.
rudeness a good look for anyone.

First, you came to us, so to speak. So you opened the issue, not us.
All we know about your life is what you have told us and the vein that you have told us. Basically, you said that you identify more with Whites than Blacks, and that is fine. The caution that some of us have told you is that given your racial background *and* the university you want to attend *and* the greek org you want to join *and* the area of the country where this school is located is that you may not have the outcome you hope to have.
If you'd said what you said, but stated that you were going to large-commuter university where joining a NPC is not that competitive and/or being greek at that school is not a big deal, then you may have gotten a slightly different response. Heck, I'm not NPC, but I've been on GC long enough to learn this difference.
