Maybe I just feel differently because I don't assume that everyone is obligated to like me just because we share Fraternal bonds. It would be a sad thing if an Alpha Phi "rejected" me because of my colour, but you know what?
That's her problem - she's missing out on so much by limiting herself, and rather than feeling hurt or angry, I'd pity her because she lives such a narrowly prescribed life. Her bigotry doesn't make me any less a member.
If you decide to go to a graduate school in the South and the collegians at your school 'reject' you, it doesn't make you any less an Alpha Chi. I'm sure there are other chapters in the immediate area who would welcome the chance to have such an amazing woman advise their chapter. When one door closes, another opens elsewhere.
(Come to think of it, I would love to see an experiment where women of colour go through rush as a "mole" in southern schools just to see what would happen. Perhaps it can be used for Fraternity education purposes?)
