That's why it is no surprise when people learn "you can pledge my chapter but we can't be 'friends' or you can't really know me outside of this GLO and campus context" or "let's get some Hispanic, Asian, and/or Black members...but then let's pretend that we don't notice race and ethnicity and pretend we're in some dumb melting pot...although I wouldn't do this outside of my GLO context." |
See, this right here is why I question AfAm women who join NPCs. I think that in theory any woman should join any sisterhood that she feels is right/best for her. But, in all reality, issues like you mentioned occur.
