I've thought about that too. My fraternity, historically has been predominantly white (although we ceased to be all white in the 1860s,) so I asked several alumni from Atlanta about this, and I asked them all seperately. They were all intrigued with the idea of a chapter at Morehouse, but expressed skepticism about the acceptance of a "traditionally white" chapter at that school. If an interest group of 10+ gentlemen were to approach us, not only would they gain immediate approval (unless they expressed a desire to engage in activities that are risk management violations,) but they would also have local alumni support.
I'm fairly confident that this is not unique to Phi Psi. Attitudes about race have changed substantially over the last 40 years. While there are still a few greek systems where most (if not all) of the "white fraternities" have never had a black member, that type of scenario is beginning to disappear.
