Justamom couldn't have said it any better. I am an African American woman in a "traditionally" white sorority. At first I did get the question of why from friends and distant member of my family, and the only thing I could think of was the sisterhood. It goes all around, no matter what sorority of any background one is in. The sisterhood of these women should be the main focus. Not only that, when I went through recruitment those women made me feel so comfortable. I didn't feel out of place at all at any time. I think it really depends on the school. I don't think I would have considered going through recruitment if I were at a big school (money does come into play). I know at GA Tech there are a couple of African American ladies in WGLO's. So maybe its not so much the size of the school that plays into the factor either.

Panhellenic love,

April
