Most importantly, are they going to follow up and make sure those women of color get involved, stay involved, and remain members until graduation? I think we know the answer.
If you find the campus atmosphere repugnant, don't do a lot of bullshit pr moves - pull your chapter.

If somebody doesn't challenge the system, the system will never change. Part of our mission is to educate our members. This is part of member education.
I agree with what National KD is doing. They are taking steps to make sure the process is fair. That's the first step to changing the culture in the chapter. I think there are enough good collegians in the Alabama chapter that if an AA woman were to join it would work out.
The answer to is whether National KD going to follow up is "Yes, of course, they are." National KD takes a pretty hands on approach with chapter issues. When they target a chapter for work on something, they pretty much stay with that chapter and that issue on an on-going basis. (Causing some eyerolling -- "Oh, Lord. Is Nationals still bitching about THAT?" "Yes. Yes, they are.") I expect that the University of Alabama is going to hear about this on a regular basis until the issue has improved in the chapter and in the Panhellenic community.
