Not that anyone cares, but I'm pretty sure Rebecca Logan-the character-is white. Her "heritage" is never mentioned in any storyline, esp during rush. Even if she wasn't a senator's daughter, I'm sure she'd have been regarded as a white PNM.

Haha I can't believe you delved into a character's ethnicity.
(and you're right, her father was white anyways)
But I think it serves for some sort of point, Rebecca Logan never made any deal out of whatever ethnicity she was (Partially Portuguese, apparently) and thus was regarded as a white PNM
That's something I think that many people might want to consider as a PNM.
Btw, I would totally marry Dilshad in a heartbeat.

I assume they never brought up her mother? I saw the "Father's Weekend" episode, but haven't been keeping up enough to know each character's family history.

Nope, other than the Senator cheated on her.

Do girls really not get bids because of race?

The places where race matters would rarely receive nonwhite pnms in the first place. You can't get denied a bid if you don't try.

I just think it's odd that someone with a user name that implies association with an Indian interest sorority comes here the day before fall recruitment convocation to make one post that tells Indian women that they have no chance of getting a bid in an NPC sorority (or at least a "good" one.) Because that simply is not the truth.

I guess it's all about frame of reference. Her username screamed Delta Diva, as in Delta Sigma Theta, to me.
You have to give us something more exciting than that, though.

There seems to be a lot of interest in my username being greek. I actually planned for my original username to be DIVA, as it's an ongoing inside joke between my friends and I about how we're in a diva sorority (Delta Iota Verve Alpha-Yes, I know Verve is made up, we didn't know if there was a Greek letter for V) since we can't be in a NPC one, but apparently that was already taken, hence DeltaIVA. I'll say it again, this is not an ulterior motive, I am not part of any other sorority, and as I said in my original post, if anybody wants to rush at UT, Indian or not, I say go for it if you want to.

I find it odd that someone who isn't in a NPC, (probably)NHPC, or one of the two big Indian at UT sororities has a Delta in their name. If I wasn't in a GLO I wouldn't put a greek letter in my username (unless your name is Delta, but still)....
idk what some people are thinking.
