While I personally don't believe in alumnae initiation for sororities, I just wanted to comment on KappaKittyCat's comment about the alumna she had a discussion with.

One thing we ALL have to remember is that many older alumnae were initiated during a different era - many colleges in the South did not allow minorities, much less co-ed dorms.

In fact, in the late 1960s, apparently, there was a huge backlash with sorority membership. I'm not sure of all the details, but it all happened as a result of the civil rights movement.

So these women are not used to people different from them being in their sororities. Yes, of course they need to learn to accept it - but they won't.

What can we do? Not much. Their time is passing.
