Glad this is being discussed!
After reading those articles on the UGA thread...I must sadly say I was NOT surprised
I did grow up on the East Coast (in the South) and as far as rush, it is definitely more diverse in the West. I see more ethnicity and diversity in GLOs out here (on the West Coast) than in the South.
(I have family and friends in both NPCs and NPHCs)
I know someone who was interested in rushing an NPC (a few years back). During freshman orientation (in a Southern School), she stopped by the NPC table. She was told (and I quote her) "the Greek system is segregated, that's the way it is. If you want to be a member of a GLO, then join a black one". End of subject.
(She is biracial). WTF?
If it is said, "the reason minority women are not in our GLOs is because they don't sign up for rush". I wonder why?????
Unfortunately in some schools they are not exactly made to feel welcome!
Kinda like "what the hell is she doing here?" And
IF they are lucky they will make it past the first round. DAMN lucky if they make it past round 2!
It cuts both ways though...I can guess the same thing would happen if a White or Asian person wanted to join an NPHC...the "what is their motive? what the hell are they doing?"
Input? Thoughts? Let's TAWK amongst ourselves!
