I think it is wonderful to have women of all shapes and colors involved in the Greek community. By knowing other women, and men for that matter of different races, religions, etc (any way you can be organized into groups), we are make ourselves better than we were to begin with. I have encountered many women and men in different NPC and IFC groups that are "colored"---from various races, I mean.
At my college chapter, there were and are still several members who are African-American....fabulous sisters! At Sigma Chi, there are several Turkish men who are brothers; in ATO, I have know of several African-American brothers, and last year, UNA's chapter initiated many Japanese brothers. I myself am dating a Kappa Sigma man who is from Pakistan. I have met so many wonderful brothers and sisters from other countries, races, and cultures, and have come to realize that there is plenty of room in the Greek system for people from all walks of life!

Side note: I just was thinking about this and thought it funny.....(in response to Tom Earp's comment about white people just going out and getting a tan....)
Actually, I'm a caucasian woman, whoo strangely enough has no ability to get a tan at all. The freckles I have are tan enough for me! But, perhaps in a joking manner, I have been ridiculed for NOT being tan.....I think nothing of it, and am content with my "Snow-White" look, as I call it.....I guess you could say I am the opposite of color....
Just an interesting take on the conversation here......
