My organization doesn't really have any "minority" (arg i hate that term) members. I don't think it is so much my organization as the campus environment itself...that's not to say that my sisters and I shouldn't push harder for diversity and be more open to it, but I'm saying that the campus itself needs to open itself up to minority students in organizations. Several of the AASU members I've met say that they'd love for white students to come to their meetings, but no one does because they think it is "members only". Groups on campus, especially this year, have been accepting increasingly more diverse memberships, which is exciting. At the same time, the numbers of visible NPHC members is increasing as well (just yesterday I saw 2 AKA's, a DST and an Omega Psi Phi.). I really wish I had a solution to encourage more minority students to rush both the locals here and the NPHC chapters we have, and a way to increase relations between the two systems.
