No offense Lisa, but it wasn't just during the 1960s and 1970s. As a former southerner, I can attest to how rigidly segregated greek life was when I was an undergraduate (in the late 1980s I was kept out of NPC because of my race), and at UGA when the whole AGD scandal broke (and that was just a few years ago, if memory serves). And let's not forget about the whole Melody Twilley thing from a couple of years ago.
I'm really glad this happened at Alabama, and I hope other major SEC/ACC schools follow suit. But to suggest that this kind of segregation is a thing of the past is a bit of an ahistorical perspective, IMO.
