MU is a pretty accepting campus, even if it's pretty homogeneous. If this girl has the grades, the activities and the personality that sororities are looking for, she'll do fine.
Most of the reason black women do not do Panhellenic recruitment (or participate in recruitment but do not receive bids) is socioeconomic and cultural. Nobody wants to bid girls they have nothing in common with.
I'm not saying that racism doesn't exist or that some sororities at some schools will discriminate unfairly. But I do think that, if a PNM makes a connection with the members based on who she is as a person, her race won't be a factor.
I definitely feel like this is the case at KU, at least. I hope I'm not giving Mizzou too much credit.
