What I'd love to know is, if a member of ABC sorority from U of Alabama has reservations about admitting a Black member in her chapter, then how does she treat a Black member of her org from another school?
Personally, I think a prolem of why Black women may not join NPC (white) sororities is that from what I could tell at my school NPC groups require a
greater financial commitment than NPHC groups. I have White friends in NPC groups who would complain about the cost of living in the house, dues and having to buy a t-shirt for every event. Let's face it, most Black Americans are not receiveing equal pay for equal work as their White counterparts. So, the dollar a Black man brings home must go farther than a White man.
And, it had been said before, a lot of Black women grew up in environments where NPHC sororites have a stong presence. From their start NPHC groups were and still are concerned about improving the Black community. Maybe if ZTA or Phi Mu, for example, were more visible IN the Black community then maybe young Black girls would think, 'Hey, when I go to school, I'm going to join SGR or ZTA. They were both positive women where I live.'
Maybe more Blacks will want to join NPC groups. I can tell you that we have White members in SGR and they are accepted and treated the same. They work just as hard as the Black members and are just as proud as the Black members to be part of our organization. Why? Because in SGR
