I am reading quite well and have been following the conversation since the beginning. I think that you are the one that is trying to run off and turn the conversation into something that it doesn't have to be. The point that you are debating is MOOT. The members of D9 orgs. that SAY they wouldn't vote for a white member are NO different than members of your sorority or any other that SILENTLY know that they wouldn't vote for a non-white member. Point blank. The only difference is that D9 members are verbalizing it and a non-minority member knows up front not to expect that ONE vote. Such is the way of the world.
While you are trying to tell us that your sorority is open and accepting of all people, you can say in the same breath that some of them are racists. So obviously, those are votes that I, as a Black girl, shouldn't expect to get. Just because they aren't posting across GC, stating that they wouldn't vote for someone like me, doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Obviously, it exists. You know their intent, so it's obviously not something that's private. Yet, you are outraged that NPHC members are stating their reasons to question a white girl attempting to join a historically Black sorority?
Take a look at GC. Go through the forums. Of all the sororities and fraterities listed under each forum, NINE are NPHC orgs. NINE. Four are sororities. So, I can agree with any soror or sistergreek that would raise and eyebrow at a white girl that has seemingly unlimited orgs. to join, yet decided on an NPHC org. I'm also sure that if I attempted to rush an NPC or other sorority, at least one person there would wonder why I wasn't trying to be a member of AKA or Delta or one of "our" sororities.
It happens and not just from "us" simply because "we" are the ones voicing it.
