What KDCat seemed to be saying that I objected to was "ask all your black friends to COB events and not your white friends. " If it takes COBing to get chapter members to make friends with people of another race, that's their failing as humans, not as sorority members.
Nope. Not what I said.

It doesn't hurt to push your chapter members to to ask AA women to COB. If you don't think about recruiting diverse candidates, it often doesn't happen - not at work and not in sororities. That doesn't mean you don't include other candidates as well.
