For themost part I find that chapters tend to reflect the campus in terms of racial diversity. The chapter that I pledged at (Kappa)probably had 2 or 3 blacks out of the 130(?) who were brothers at any time that I was. But that wasn't that far from the racial balance of the school (Carnegie-Mellon in PGH).

OTOH, Zeta Phi chapter at Howard, I don't know if it has had a non african american brother since rechartering. I do know it has had at least one, I remember seeing a Caucasian in a yearbook photo in the 1960s.


Generally, the chapters at Historically Black Colleges & Universities do keep stronger ties after graduation and to some degree as undergraduates, But there are certainly brothers who go against that tendency in both directions. I'm rapidly approaching my 18th anniversary of becoming a brother and still going strong.

I expect that SAU will end up with traditions somewhat between those of Howard and U Michigan (just to pick two with very different characteristics. SAU has 20%+ Caucasians and 5 historically white Fraternities/Sororities to go with a full contingent of the NPHC.

Maybe not what you are asking, but my two cents worth.
