Hi guys,
I'm very new to all thinks Greek, since I have just transferred to UGA, from France. I've tried my best to lurk around here and read up/find out as much as I can about Greek life, but still if I say/do anything that's a no-no around here, please forgive me in advance.
Now that that's out of the way,
Like I said, I just transferred to UGA this semester, and my knowledge of the Greek system was pretty much non existent before I came. However, I've gotten to know a couple of guys and girls in the system, and how it functions etc.
Long story short, I've learned about the networking opportunities, the leadership opportunities, the experience and other various facts like a mind-boggling number of CEOs of top companies being Greek; and I feel like I want to give rushing a try. I'll be a junior, but I still have a few houses in mind and want to try, so I've just signed up for Spring Rush.
Here's the thing though, I was looking at all the fraternities in the IFC, and all the brothers seem predominantly from the same background - caucasian and southern, and I'm neither.
I know there are multicultural fraternities at my school too, but I've hung out with them and honestly didn't feel like we all got along.
So my question is this(and hope I don't sound like a total noob):
Is the reason for this lack of diversity that IFC fraternities actively don't accept Asians/Indians/Latinos? Or is it because there aren't any Asian/Indian/Latinos rushing in the first place?
Also, I'd be very grateful if you guys could suggest some houses that would be more open to someone from my background, so I could maybe focus on them. (I know TKE is an international fraternity for example)
I won't ask you to tell me which ones I should stay away from obviously, because then this might turn into a racism flame war.
What do you guys think?
Also, any tips/suggestions on rushing would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!
