I'm at a school where there's plenty of diversity but not in the sororities. Maybe because we have a lot of traditionally black sororities on campus as well, and that might split up the numbers of potential NPC black rushees. (Meaning, maybe a proportionate number of minority women join sororities here, but if half go NPC and the other go to the traditionally black sororities, it looks like only half as many join sororities, period. Here the traditionally black sororities and fraternities don't mix much with the NPC and IFC groups except during all-Greek events.)

Anyway. We had, for years, the "brown sugar club" in my chapter. A group of girls who were varying degrees of brown (including a Korean girl and an Indian girl -- membership criteria seemed to depend on interest!) and those girls REVELED in both their differences and their similarities. Just like the sorority as a whole did. More than anything they were just a group of Phi Mu friends who loved hanging out together and probably needed a handle to call themselves, instead of Anna/Megan/Kristen/Keisha/Ellen/Martie/Jenna/Deandra......
