She didn't hear or notice any racism or bigoted remarks before now? If she is such a crusader from a liberal family, she never noticed this mentality? Did the frats have a problem with the chapter diversity that had attracted her previously.? She states that most of the chapter gave the Black girl high marks, so the whole chapter can't be racist. Isn't the sister better off not becoming an "affirmative action" member who will receive the cold shoulder once she is a member? Wouldn't she be better off rushing an inclusive sorority. They must have made her feel comfortable if she decided to rush that particular one. To me only a coward would leave the school. Stay and fight the racism. Don't write a letter before exhausting all avenues and then run. I know that the knee-jerk reaction is to scream racism, but just by reading between the lines, something else is going on.

This young woman has the courage of her convictions. Based on the given info (the letter), it sounds like she tried to get out of her housing contract but was unable to do so, therefore leaving school was the only means of doing this--you must be a marticulating student to live in a house. I'm quite certain if this womans grades are ok, she should get back into the university with no problem.
All it takes is one person to make a difference and she did it. Maybe she wasn't the only one in her chapter that felt that way but she DID SOMETHING about it for the good of all. So in my book, she is a HERO.
You know, Ms. Rosa Parks was only one person who took a stand and look what the outcome was...
