no one said that blacks joining npc or ifc groups in the south was a regular thing. someone implied that southern sororities and fraternities do not have black members and i was trying to let them see that that is not true.
before we can determine if blacks joining npc and ifc groups is common or rare, we would have to know how many blacks participated in npc or ifc recruitment and of those people, how many were extended a bid.
to take it further, we would need to know the reason that those who were not extended a bid, did not receive one. did they have a gpa that was at or above the gpa requirement of panhellenic, but had a gpa that did not meet the sorority's required gpa? i don't know why , but it seems that often the required gpa to participate in recruitment is lower than many of the sororities required gpa.
did they decide that they did not have the time to devote to the pledgeship?
was the cost prohibitive?
were they offered a bid, but decided that that chapter was not for them?
if they were not offered a bid, were they on the bid list, but that chapter reached quota before they got to that person?
if they were dropped by the chapter, was if because they were black, or was it because the member rushing the pnm did not mesh well with the pnm?
