very few AAs have rushed, so there's this big question mark, so AAs continue not to rush, which doesn't give NPCs the chance to prove the outcome.

I think it is important to add "Most of the NPC groups had exclusionary policies a few decades ago that barred Jews as well as non-whites. These chapters no longer have explicit policies, but they have not taken action to promote inclusion equivalent to the actions taken to ensure exclusion in the past." That's the context within which AA women choose not to rush. Diversity rarely, if ever, happens simply because you open a door that used to be closed. You need to give people reasons to walk through that door. Memories die hard, especially on a campus, and within a Greek system, that takes enormous pride in its long traditions.
