Yes. Duh. I'm
not downplaying the situation or equating being African-American to any of the following, but it's the same at a school where athletes never go Greek...or people in the theater department never do...etc etc etc. It will never happen if you keep listening to the people who say it never happens.
Also take into consideration that I'm sure many African-American women are feeling pressure (from gentle to strong, depending on family and friends' involvement) to join NPHC groups, and they probably know that if they do go through NPC rush, the NPHC group of their choice may look at them differently.
