GEORGIA[FONT=Arial]
Athens 2000 A member of the Alpha Gamma Delta sorority filed a racial discrimination complaint when other members insisted on rejecting a black freshman applicant. The University of Georgia temporarily suspended the sorority during an investigation.
These are just a few incidents involving predominately white sororities and fraternities. It's not just hearsay or instinct or gossip, and for the record I have never read Pledged so you need to stop even bringing that up.
I read the Georgia article first because I was curious about what research you were using to make you such an expert on NPC membership selection. I haven't read the rest of your articles, but will when I have time.

The Georgia example you cite is pretty weak. Aside from the fact that you're using a decade-old magazine article as a reference for what you're calling a current event, the entire case was based around a "she-said she-said" argument, with nothing substantiating the claims. The statement of a single disgruntled member who has no evidence, nothing at all except her own version of the story, to support what she's alleging, will rarely be considered sufficient evidence to support a claim. After a thorough examination, investigators could find "not one hint" of racism. I'm sure you have some personal theory about why that's the case, and that's fine because I'm really not trying to get into a debate about NPC membership selection with you, but your research is sloppy, at best.

I don't doubt you've "heard" lots of examples. But when you use such an insufficient example to back up your claim, it really undermines your credibility.
