At my school the discussion usually turns to "token" black guys in fraternities. The fact is, there aren't very many black guys at this school, and those who are here are either anti-greek or they join BGLOs. There is one black guy in SAE, a couple in Sigma Pi, and one in Delta Sig. It would be cool if we had some black guys, because diversity is good. We already have a few Asian guys, as do all of the fraternities.
I think that many minority groups somehow see black guys joining fraternities as "sellouts" because they are becoming part of the establishment– what the minority groups consider the white establishment. Unfortunately, they are wrong. But it would be nice if more minority students would get involved in GLOs. Ironically, at this school white people are also minorities. The distribution is as follows:
As you can see, there aren't very many black guys to select from. Truly, the number of black guys in fraternities is dictated by the number who are interested.
