ok so you are giving them the benefit of the doubt, the thought being:
It's not that they're racist, but the minorities on campus just don't meet the requirements of members.
and that's their reasoning.

All the NPC groups on here are going on and on about how competitive Formal Rush is and its usually super competitive at schools that don't have a large minority representation in the sororities.
They are also going to great lengths to state over and over again that prejudice doesn't exist in their sororities (cause they all know of minority members, someone saying they have minority friends) and therefore has nothing to do with ther selection process or influence who responds to formal Rush.
I was merely assuming that what they are saying is correct, their is no conscious or unconscious bias and that there must be some other reason why significant numbers of minorities are not joining their organizations.
So we go back to the only reason they have given for people not getting in, Rush is competitive. Therefore the minority students at their specific institutions must not be competitive.
What other reason are they giving?
Sorry for any misunderstanding. And my apologies to Zchi2 for getting his blood pressure up.
