I see it as a start. It kind of reads as a press release from CPC saying, look how inclusive we are! Yeah us! But the fact is it's not that long ago that having any women of any color other than white would be unheard of. My follow up question is, are these women going to be tokens and we can't allow a 2nd black woman to pledge or we'll become the house with all the black girls, or can they move on and pick members based on their other many attributes and leave this one as a footnote? Being big enough to pick "one of them" is easy. Being big enough to not care is something completely different.

I don't know the demographics of Southern Mississippi. How diverse is the student population? I'm guessing the sororities are about 1% non-white (I guessed 130 members, 1 black woman, 1 other woman of color). The student population is probably quite a bit more diverse than that, but you have to start somewhere.

And every time a student article is referenced here it gets crucified (justifiably in my opinion) for horrendous writing. The fact that the writer of this article probably thought the title was awesome (and how cool are we?) to me just cries out for better writing and students who are a smidge more aware of the world around them.
