People go to SMU because they are rich. My comment wasnt a shot at SMU. It was a shot at my own chapter there. (But I'm sure they'll appreciate you getting their back and all.) They were not diverse and claimed to be (see the connection now?). With the makeup of SMU being 20% minority, they had no people of color in the chapter. I also dont tend to agree that catholics are a 'recognized minority' for the sake of diversity stats as these fellas were claiming.
Point is that they were an all white chapter claiming they were diverse bedcause they had a catholic. Thats BS. Just like your analogy was. An all white chapter at Notre Dame that had accepted a Methodist wouldnt be diverse either.

Your last sentence & paragraph said the same thing I did - trying rereading both of our statements without a jaundiced view.
And I used the generic Methodist, not SMU. Maybe I should have said Liberty College, since that gets so many liberals' panties twisted. The bottom line is what may be a minority at University A may not be a minority at University B.
