Very true, but it's either a possible "token member" fraternity or it's a segregated, racist white fraternity. It's almost as if there's no way to win. It's almost as if there is no in between.
The one possibel "in between" that I can think of would be to pledge a number of minorities to get passed all of the above, but it can be hard at times to pledge even one minority. And in the case that your org has a minority join, yes, they could be labeled a "token member." But who labels that person the "token?" Is the the fraternity itself. Or is it other minorities looking at the fraternity with one minority member? Perception is everything in this case. What a token is to one person could be the beginning of desegregating a chapter. And in the end, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
