Is there a way to encourage minorities to go through recruitment at historically white organizations (HWOs)? I'm just asking because many HWOs want to diversify themselves, but often find it difficult.

My advice is
always to encourage all Greeks on campus to get together and show the campus that each organization is wonderful in its own way AND that each organization supports the others. When Greeks are not united, you run into the "us against them" mentality. There will always be "minorities" who want the kinds of experiences and resources that only NPCs can provide. And there will always be "minorities" who are more attracted to the way mcglos/hlglos/haglos/hbglos/etc. present themselves and function.
It is not the responsibility of multicultural/historically minority organizations to assist NPC/NICs in recruitment or vice versa. But these orgs do have a responsibility to promote the entire Greek system for the sake of the positive future of the system.
