SoCalGirl, it's in a book called "Our Kind of People: The Story of America's Black Upper Class", by Lawrence Otis Graham. It's a pretty good book--I got it as a gift a few years back. I'm not sure if they say she was the FIRST nonwhite woman to pledge, I don't know if that information can really be found, since I don't know how many NPC sororities do racial breakdowns of their membership.
