OK so we know that "diversity" means more than along the lines of race. but in the context of the article, and when talking college politics, we ALL know were talking about race (if not race, class/social status). And to be even more honest, at face value, the primary impression one would get looking for "diversity" when looking at greek orgs is going to be race. No one goes to round robin and says, "Oh wow, XYZ has so many people with different majors, i thought they were all English majors!"
of course we know, for the most part, chapters are going to be diverse along different characteristics. but seeing is believing. if the "diversity" makes itself visible (versus having to look for it) the more likely one could feel comfortable associating with said chapter.
but that's just me.
