While I don't have access to official statistics (and I somehow feel that there aren't many on the matter), from my observation at UGA, the lower number of African American girls in NPC sororities is more a product of the number going through recruitment at all than a result of being dropped during the process. In each of the rounds on the first 2 days, where every girl sees every house, there usually only seems to be one or two African American girls. Most of the houses seem to have about one African American girl in each pledge class. Of course, some have none and some have a few, but this is just approximation from casual observation. It seems to me that they have about the same success as the average white PNM, and the disparity is due to lack of African American interest in NPC groups rather than lack of NPC interest in African American members.
