Oh, I understand that it can be a bit of a vicious circle - there are no minorities in the groups, so none go out for membership, so the groups do not get a chance to make any minorities members, and so on, and so on.
I don't know what the answer is, but I do think it is a point that should be considered before accusing the groups of racism. Sometimes it just takes one brave person, or one brave group, to go against the status quo to open the doors for all.
And sometimes it just may be that there already exist established groups with which pnms feel more at home with - if a campus has a strong NPHC presence, there may not be much interest in the black community in joining the NPC or IFC.
Heck, if you look at NPC colonization threads, you'll see that campuses often get a new group when a number of girls feel that the existing groups do not offer what they need.
