To be blunt, race is an issue...and it will/can/does become an issue when one is trying to gain access in a org that is predominantly one race.......just being realistic, but good luck. And don't think that black sororities don't have members of other races in them as my organization has plenty of indviduals of other races and we look past that.......we look for your drive, high character, leadership skills and commitment.....color does not dictate that...

Which is it? That race is an issue if you are "trying to gain access in a(sic) org that is predominantly one race"(for example, your predominantly black GLO) or that it is possible for a GLO to "look for your drive, high character, leadership skills and commitment.....(sic) color does not dictate that". ?

An issue? Yes, it can be - but , if I may tweak your own words - don't think that white sororities don't have members of other races in them as my organization (NPC) has plenty of individuals of other races. We look past that. We look for your drive, high character, leadership skills and commitment. Color does not dictate that.

I think she was trying to say that race is only a factor for the white sororities. LOL.
