1) There is a pretty large population of Nigerians in the Atlanta area. A number of women who joined our chapters there were Nigerian. They have mentioned that they get frustrated with people who don't understand them - which is why they joined Theta Nu Xi. We don't seem to have an issue recruiting people whose first language is not English.

How is this a problem for NPCs on your campus?

2) No one has yet answered the question I continue to ask. Why do some people on this board say that NPCs want to shed their "predominantly white" label? Why is it so bad? It's your HISTORY!
  • A) With the number of white members these organizations have, it would take a huge effort to recruit enough non-white new members to make a dent in the population.
  • B) If you know your organization has diversity, why do you feel the need to explain yourself to others outside your organization. You don't owe anyone anything.
3) Yes it's redundant but people will join what they want to join. I'll tell you this right now, if a woman came up to me and expressed interest in my organization - but gave me the impression that she just wanted the letters but not the commitment - she would NOT become a member. I can pretty much guarantee that any nonsense like that happening in my presence would end up with a very sad and rejected interest. I don't play.
