O.K. I'm Hispanic, most of the time people think I'm Arabic. I'm not sure why but apparently, people think that I can't be of Mexican heritage b/c I look Arabic. Go figure.
When I rushed, my pledge class consisted of Caucasian ladies, African-American ladies, ladies of Latina heritages, and a gal from India! When I got to know the ladies of the sorority, I found that many of them "look" Caucasian BUT are if Hispanic descent. They never hid it, are proud to speak their native languages whether it be English, Spanish, Hindustani, or with their charming accents. I like to think that we've gone beyond looking at ethnicity as standards for giving a bid. I'm proud of who I am and have never had a reason to try to pretend I'm not of Mexican descent.
I belong to an NPC sorority & I say for you to go ahead & rush.
It's not a big deal BUT then again, I'm from California so we have a mixed pot here. I like to think it's the same everywhere else but I couldn't answer that b/c I'm not familiar with other states.
Have fun & Good-Luck!!!
