If you don't try, you have already failed. That's my belief.
I am not from the South. But, still. If one goes through, then maybe another will go through and it will build year after year.
Yes, I know that there are cultural issues that I am not aware of down there. Hey, we just got a black president. So if he can become president then surely you can go through recruitment.
What do you have to lose?
Worst case scenario is you don't like it. Well, you don't have to do it again. You could chalk it up as an experience. One that you had instead of wondering what if.
Back in the day, my org was one of the few that had African Americans in our chapter. I was so proud.
Please don't lambaste me for speaking about a culture that I have little knowledge of.

It's not a question of whether or not I'm allowed to go through recruitment, because I am.
But as knight_shadow mentioned, there having only been 1 AA has led me to ask a legitimate question about how much of a factor race will play into my experience. I'm not stupid enough to assume any one chapter or house is racist, cause that's not the case. But anyone from the south knows the reputation of schools like 'bama and 'Ole Miss.
I just wanna know whether I'd honestly be wasting my time.
But I don't wanna ignorantly base my decision off of a misunderstanding. Like is there a lack of AA rushing because of the reputation? So its just a cycle of no AA's? Or is race a major factor?
That's all. I just wanna be realistic
