Also, your mission is pretty specific isn't it? Service for the African American Community? That would seem to limit interest a bt also.

The last Iota page I saw had founding members of every racial background and I believe their original president was Caucasian. I'm not sure about the other eight NPHC orgs but part of our oath states we do not discriminate against anyone so anyone can apply. Will they? Probably not, because as with NPC/IFC groups are percieved to be only white, we are percieved to be only Black. I've met sorors that were white, Asian, Native American, Indian and I'm sure a whole host of things I don't know. Will they ever outnumber the number of Black women in the sorority? Probably not but they are most definitely welcome to apply.
