That woman has LOADS of courage. I totally understand why she left school over it. If she stayed in school she'd have to live with the racist little girls that were treating her like crap.
This way she can transfer to another school and either get a degree somewhere else or transfer back to UGA in a year or so.
I don't believe for a heartbeat that this is a national policy for AGD; so I still have much love for the org. But that chapter? Well, I'm definitely glad that I'm not there.
Yes racism is still out there. And yes it's bad in the South and worse in the Deep South. But when people like this woman make these kinds of statements; hopefully, it'll wake some people up. I pray that other sisters in that chapter have the sense and courage to stick up for her and future rushees who happen to not be white.
When I hear about chapters like this it makes me wonder if my sorority has chapters like it. The idea scares me completely.
I usually take offense/totally can't relate to the idea that I belong to a WHITE GLO. My chapter just doesn't reflect that. But then I get our newsletter or I flip through our pledge book. I search and search for pictures of non-white girls. They're there, but damn few. That's when it hits me that I DO belong to a white glo. It leaves me with an awful feeling.
I don't understand why we're the only chapter on campus that actually REFLECTS our school.
But I'm damn glad about it. Honestly I'd go insane and be totally unhappy if we were like the others, with less than ten minorities.
I live in a predominantly Filipino neighborhood and have always gone to predominantly Filipino/Asian schools. That's why I'm not comfortable with tons of whites but I am with Asians, it's what I know.
I think maybe that's why there's the need for ethnic focused GLOs or why a non-white girl might want to join a white sorority. And vice versa.
It's probably also why those little girls acted the way they did. Maybe they weren't raised with any black people around?
They all need to go back to pre-school and learn to share and play nice with someone who doesn't look like them.
