I looked at the University of Maryland AOII facebook, and did not see AA members (and none among those in white dresses - are these new initiates?).
The Arizona State University Panhellenic Recruitment Guide doesn't reflect NPC chapter membership of AA women either:

Just using those examples as you mentioned these states.
So I guess my question is -- what threshold of AA membership is considered "fully integrated" and sufficient to claim that a chapter is racially diverse?
Do these chapters actively recruit AA women? What have the chapters you advised done to address recruitment of potential members from diverse racial and socio-economic backgrounds? |
Re - the bolded. Are. You. Serious? SMH. You are missing the point entirely. If you go to the Arizona websites on various sororities, you may or may not see the diversity of membership (and I'm not talking solely about race) - it all depends on who is selecting the photos and who happened to be in the photos that were selected. Sheesh.
Surely you know that you can't judge ethnicity based on a photograph. Right?
As for your "what threshold" question, perhaps you'd like to formulate a research question, based on scientific principles and do the investigation? That would be a good use of time and energy.
