I have no doubt that the PNM's race had a lot to do with her Recruitment, but it wasn't just one group that did not want her. If the group felt she was a membership risk, for any reason, they would not ask her back.
I'm not saying it's right, but it only makes a marketable story if it has the word racism attached. I haven't seen an article about an unkempt PNM that was cut b/c that doesn't sell.
I think the school can be a huge help if they work with the entire system; it is not just this one chapter or this one recruitment. Like the chapter members said, if they took her they would have no social life, if they have no social life, they will eventually fall behind in numbers, not keeping dues up and so on. They have to find PNMs that will enhance their group, it's all about campus culture, that's why the school should do a lot for the system.
