Thanks all so far..
This is what I want to hear. I am not trying to portray GLO's as racist, which is why I want to get an honest view of Greek life outside of my chapter. By the way, I am an African-American who joined a predominately white fraternity, and I know that maybe if I went to certain chapters, I might not be as welcome as I could be. My girlfriend, who is an African American as well as a member of a traditionally white sorority, and I have been to other campuses, and have not felt welcomed by our "brothers" or "sisters". That's too bad, but it's true. But we like our chapters, so we do not regret joining, nor do we feel that we "sold out". My particular chapter has always been the leader at my school, as well as nationally, within Phi Kappa Psi in terms of racial diversity, so that is why I want to find out how it differs at other schools. I'm smart enough to know that maybe a lot of big state universities, and a lot of the schools in the south have greek systems that are very much separated by race, and a lot of smaller, private schools are more interracial, and they look at the person as a whole, not just the color of his/her skin. I just would like to find people who have stories that they would like to share either way-even if you think that it is a good thing to not admit someone of a different race. Thanks again...
