It depends on the campus, though. At some universities diversity is key, and non-white PNMs going through recruitment with mostly white fraternities or sororities would have a VERY good chance of being chosen. And yes, at some, that would keep them from getting a bid. I am betting that there are chapters at those two extremes and many in the middle at every campus and agree that a non-white PNM would not likely be interested in rushing a chapter that would be discriminatory. It is no different from a girl with purple hair and 18 peircings not feeling comfortable at BarbieSorority which outlaws piercings and unatural hair colors. It does not mean it is right, but it is reality. Just like in the real world, there will always be groups who discriminate based on race, religion, sexual orientation, etc.
It is also true that sometimes very few non-white PNMs participate in NPC or IFC recruitment at some schools. At mine this is true. Our chapters are not likely to be discriminatory because of the campus atmosphere, but almost every single PNM is white.
