I went to a pretty big state school. While I was an active, my chapter had two black girls, and several Indian and Asian girls. If I'm not mistaken, we were one of the more "diverse" chapters on campus at the time.

During formal recruitment, I never noticed any black rushees, although there were quite a few (for Kentucky) Indians and Asians. Our black members joined through COB. I'm not really sure why this is; it's just the way it was. Nobody really questioned it. I guess it's just the culture of the school. Also, we do have several NPHC organzations, so perhaps black rushees naturally gravitate towards those as opposed to "traditionally white" groups for the same reason as I was drawn to an NPC group--you sort of go where people are most like you.
