I think... and I know I can't be very educated on this subject because I only know about large southern schools... that it also depends on the size and locale of the chapter. When I was an undergrad, there was this completely cool mixed girl in my chapter. All of us saw her as just that... cool, outgoing, and the kind of person you always wanted to be around. But, being in the south, there were the ones who certainly made snap judgements about a chapter that would *gasp* let in a person who was not completely white. And on the flipside, there were judgements about her for not *gasp* embracing her culture by joining a historically black sorority (believe it or not, it's just as much of a stigma as far as what could be wrong with this girl if she "couldn't get into" one of the historically black sororities). Chances are, someone who is not completely white in a historically white sorority is going to feel uncomfortable at times. Unfortunately, there are still many many many people who are stuck back in the traditional race roles of sororities/fraternities.
