I think you misunderstood the point I was trying to make -- that it is wrong to assume droves of AA freshmen girls are just dying to join NPC sororities.
(Though certainly their race should not be a barrier if they do wish to join)
Certainly there are other issues and perceptions that may revolve around familial exposure, background, and connections. See the research article I linked.
(but of interest on the topic of the "right background" - a wonderful man who immigrated from a country in South America painted my house eight years ago. He was fairly new to our country - about 2 years I think -and still struggled a little with English at the time. I spoke with him again about 2 years ago, and he told me his daughter was at Alabama. And an ADPi.)
