As for nationwide numbers of black people in historically white GLO's, the same could be said for white people in historically black GLO's. The door swings both ways. Will you agree to that?
I'd also like to reiterate that many black people interested in joining historically-white GLO's are discouraged from the idea by their black peers. One particular instance that stands out in my mind is a story from one of my DZ sisters. A black girl pledged XYZ sorority at my sister's campus and was very happy in the chapter. The girls loved her and she fit in very well. A few weeks before initiation, the Black Student Alliance on campus - angry that she had "sold out" to a white sorority - spraypainted the sorority house. The girl turned in her pledge pin and quit.
Just something to think about while you're wondering why there aren't many black people in historically white GLO's.

You seem to have taken my comments personally, relax. I was never the one wondering why there aren't many black people in historically white GLOs. There not being ANY blacks in GLOs would be fine with me, as long as it's THEIR choice for not being in them, and not the result of hatred and bigotry. The same goes for whites in BGLOs. I feel as if this thread will go off on a tangent if I express my reservations, so I will save my commentary for another time...if that's alright with you.
