Anyways..... in reply to this thread.....
One of my best friends in my sorority is black. There are also people who are asian, indian, and arabic. I honestly don't think anyone thinks about it when we're all together unless somebody brings it up. When rushing be yourself because that's all that's going to matter in the end.
I just felt the need to interject with this:

This gets us into another important point:

Having "different types" of people in a chapter is a surface-level fix if people do not talk to each other about things that would matter on the outside world (i.e. the difference between Arabic and Arab).

This is why I don't like it when people say things like "whether you're black, white, purple, green, whatever...people are people" or "it doesn't matter what race you are" or "I don't see you as black, I see you as my friend." You don't have to ignore social attributes for someone to be in your social circle. Don't be afraid to civilly talk about things that go beyond the surface level because that's what INCLUSION and DIVERSITY really mean.
