Suthrn belle, I see your point about the fact that more non- white people join NPC sororities than non african american people join NPHC orgs.. (although I know there are some caucasian members of NPHC groups) I do agree with Carnation though, why why did the question have to be brought up if people care about minorities joining ??
There have been plenty of threads about race/religous issues brought up that have gotten pretty heated, and although they sometimes need to be discussed I don't think this needs to be, especially after how it turned out in the other forum. The fact is I'm pretty sure most NPC sororities stress inclusiveness and saying things about how your daddy would stop paying for your dues and such is I feel is not called for, no matter how innocently you meant the comment, or if it doesn't reflect your personal beliefs.
It is hurtful for people to have to think that there are people out there....( sisters or parents of sisters) who wouldn't want them in their chapter and would stop supporting the chapter if they knew that a minority or someone of another religion or sexual prefrence had joined. I am Bi-racial (white and black) and I know that if I found out that if another chapter somewhere had a problem with people of "non white background" joining, I wouldn't feel comfortable even in my very diverse chapter.
