Our discussion was more interesting than the original question.

I actually had forgotten the original question. But I'm glad she posted b/c this discussion was generated as a result.

In all honesty, I think we have given all of the info and advice possible. Simply put: there are no guarantees in recruitment, so we cannot really tell you what your odds are - black, white, or whatever.

Your question brought some interesting thoughts on the issue of race in predominately white groups/Greek systems and spurred an interesting conversation.

I think you should go for it, if it is something you would like to pursue. If you don't, you will always wonder. Best of luck and keep us posted this fall.

What kind of answer are you expecting? A precise statistical probability?

There are non-white members in several, but not all, NPC sororities at the University of Texas. You may fit in with a chapter. You may not. We don't know you nor the membership selection criteria of all chapters so how can you possibly think we can give you any kind of evaluation of your chances?

Go through recruitment. You either get a bid or you don't. You won't know the answer to your question until bid day. The end.
