Doing a little digging, they have made a public statement (the Sigma Initiative) that they want to grow their Greek system. If I were trying to expand my Greek system and more than 1/3 of the student population was not white, I'd probably start trying to increase the gene pool, so to speak. From their website, 14% of the student population is Greek.
Total Undergraduate Students 12,383
Gender
Women 7,594 61%
Men 4,789 39%
Race/Ethnicity
International 77 1%
Race/Ethnicity Not Reported 669 5%
African American / Black 3,749 30%
American Indian / Alaskan Native 54 <1%
Asian / Pacific Islander 150 1%
Hispanic 188 2%
White 7,496 61
And yet again, they've buried the lead. The story that they want to grow their Greek system and part of that is welcoming a more diverse population into traditionally white sororities would have come off more authentic and dare I say, more interesting.
