Are you joking? I'm pretty sure she meant "hahaha" just in shortened form.

Assuming she is talking about a NPC sorority, what would "finding the answer" to this question prove? That she knows what recruitment is? That doesn't really answer her question.

Hello all,

I'll be attending Bama this fall ( ROLL TIDE ROLL haha) and I really was looking forward to rushing. I am a legacy of a certain sorority there and when I visited I was very surprised that there is little to no ethnic diversity in their sororities ( I am african american by the way). Im not sure if it is because the minorities do not rush or because they are denied membership??

The whole thing worries me and I could use some guidance. I would really love to be in a panhellenic sorority...preferably my legacy aha.

Thank yall


ps. if you are an active or alum of a bama sorority please say so, as your advice will be more valuable haha...but of course im not asking you to say which one.

pss. im sure this is a touchy topic but.....the truth is always nice...ill take PMs too!

Of course, I am not from Bama, so I can't give a good answer. But my advice (if you are talking about an NPC sorority) is to rush. You won't ever truly know the answer to your question unless you try. If they do cut you b/c of your ethnicity, then you gotta think--is that the type of sorority I want to be in?
