It all depends on where you go and if it's common there.

I believe there has been....one? or two? mixed rushees that went through sorority rush since I've been here. Went to the same house too. To my knowledge (which obviously isn't all-encompassing as there's over...700? girls who go through rush, but I don't think we've had a fully black girl go through in a little while. Alot of other ethnicities get bids, but they also tend to go through rush in greater numbers as well.

We had the same singular black guy go through two years in a row, who got cut two straight years in a row. He's now joining a fraternity that is recently coming on.

God honey, I know this is a confusing thing for you, but I think you're making it more complicated than it has to be. Do your research. Observe your campus culture and greek members and then decided what it is that you want. I didn't have to wrack my brain. Once I knew what I knew, I knew what to do. Make a list of pro/con if it will help, but don't go berserk. You will and can find the right place for you. And for me, race wasn't much of an issue, I just went with my heart.

I just want to be in a house where I'm gonna feel a true connection with the other girls but I cant help but feel akward when I'm the "only one of me" pledging. I know it's really outdated but it's how I feel which isnt fair to the number of houses that could be a perfect fit either NPHC or NPC.

I have pictures with my chapter where I am the only black person in the entire photo. But I didn't care because that was where I wanted to be and they wanted me to be there. Frankly, if that would bother you even if you cared about them and they cared about you...there you go you have your answer.
