Are there any black members in your local chapter? Probably not! My point is the double standards and why do you think it is okay for it to be only one sided. I do not recall anyone being jumped in the Alpha Phi Alpha thread.

I would like to know what your definition a person from a non-white background is.
My collegiate chapter has had 6 black sisters that I can think of without trying. And the chapter where I am currently an advisor has a black woman in their New Member class. My collegiate chapter also had a woman who was bi-sexual. I don't see why that is an issue to you. They are all my sisters and I am proud of each one of them for their academic achievements, their leadership in Zeta Tau Alpha and for being the wonderful, amazing people that they are. The color of their skin or their sexual preference has nothing to do with anything. They are my sisters and I love them.
I haven't given much thought to the "double standard" that you are talking about because my school did not have NPHC chapters, so it has not been part of my experience.
