Race & Sororities

WOW.
I love the fact that you have the audacity to explain my life to me in the way that you see it.
I sense some bitterness and animosity, and I really doubt it has anything to do with my post.
You're entitled to your opinion, and I'm entitled to mine.
You can think what you want about me and "some people get angry when you say that, or deny it to the fullest, but that doesn't mean it isn't true."
If you thought I was some clueless little girl looking for justification or sympathy then you're wrong.
I'm a strong young woman with a drive to succeed.
I am interested in GLOs in general.
I simply asked a question. ( and yes it was a question )
It was not a statement of my general ideas and/or hopes in a sad attempt to obtain a response conducive to my dreams.
And as for racism being present in the South, I agree. I know. I live here. I also know that racism isn't just something shown by white people... (hint hint)
I know who has accepted me, and you CANNOT sit there and tell me that my life experiences are BS when you DO NOT know me.
My mother (who is black) experienced the same thing.
She went to the same high school.
The people she went to school with parented the people I go to school with.
It seems that some people prefer the stereotypical black person, and that's sad.
Now you can say whatever you'd like in response to this, and frankly, I don't care.
In my opinion, you're not here to help. You're here to justify your beliefs, as you think I am.
I wish you all the best.

PS.
rudeness a good look for anyone.

Personally I think you may be setting yourself up for heartache. From my experience black and bi-racial women have a difficult time joining white sororities....especially in the South. Some people get angry when you say that, or deny it to the fullest, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. Racism is alive and well and in these situations it is often hidden. It's done in a very subtle and genteel way.

As far as your claims about not being accepted by the African-American community, I think I will stay away from that. Suffice it to say I think it's BS and your explanation kind of gives that away.

At any rate, you should check out ALL of the sororities...including the black ones....instead of just automatically shying away from them.
