I feel like any racial barriers to the NPC recruitment process have been moved aside as much as is institutionally possible. The question I have raised, however, is . . . will this be enough to accomplish that goal?

This was a nice rebuttal, and I think we agree on more points than we disagree. The data I sourced was indeed a few years old, and it looks like ASU is getting *a little* more diverse, which is a good thing.
I'll still stand by AOII Angel's comment - in working with Southern California chapters, I have never seen race as a cut and dry issue to the point where chapters would feel ostracized for taking a particular PNM. I have never seen circumstances where chapters even knew if a PNM would be the "first" whatever pledged to their chapter.
However, I will concede that I have seen Greek communities start to take notice when a chapter starts to become "majority minority". Is this also a form of racism? Yes, I believe it is. It may not affect women so strongly at the individual level (as it appears is the case at Alabama), but in aggregate it still affects the population.
