Yeah. I thought about that, and figured I'd give her the benefit of the doubt. I'd just hate to be considered one of those shrill and vitriolic GCers.

She's got the admins on it, though, so I'm sure it'll all get ironed out soon enough.

Oh, and just for fun...

AOPi is one.

Thank you Anchor! Glad to hear that!

So the answer to my question is buried in a thread somewhere! I only get 2 names, Alpha Gam and Theta from local news and Internet searches. I will spend the rest of the day searching here...not. It will come out sooner or later. I hope to see mine joining the list soon.

I guess that username toooooold you all. Now what else can this thread be used for? I have another 1 1/2 hours at the airport.

a diversity quilt would be ... oh, nevermind.

um - minorities. This confuses me. What's the context? Do we mean anyone who isn't WASP? yet, in AZ in some counties the majority population is NOT caucasian. can someone help define terms so i don't get lost?

In the past (about a decade ago,) GPhiB. Currently, AGD and Theta. Chi O and AOPi both offered a bid to the same woman. I'm not sure which one she accepted. There may be others.

"Minority" refers to the small subset of the GC population who is more awesome than AZTheta.

You know what "minority" refers to even in environments where white Anglosaxon Prostestants are the population size minority.

I think what she's talking about is that all the articles on the UA situation state that X number of bids were given to AAs and Y number to "other minorities" with no clarification as to what those entail.
