LOL! I remember when they came to the Evans home and said: "We already have an oriental, and a chi-can-a in our sorority..." I went around for a couple of weeks saying, "I am a chi-can-aaaaa." after I saw that episode!

And speaking of women not being welcome into sororities (and of GLOs performing together):

Several of my Founding Mothers attempted to sign up for recruitment here in CA in the mid-1980s, but were turned away from the table and told that it was "not for them." This is one of the incidents that prompted them to establish my sorority, which became the first Latina sorority on the west coast, and the third established in the nation. Luckily, my Founding Mothers had support from some of the other GLO members, including the sisters of Delta Sigma Theta on their campus, who were among their greatest allies. The Delta members even invited them to join in a unity step in front of the campus community!:
