Due to historical reasons, minorities have usually not managed to crack this inner-circle (and, like some have pointed out, those that do may be the "token" friends and not necessarily treated equally) and therefore are not going to be one of the PNMs the chapter is competing for the most.

I agree. I think what's going to happen within the next 5-10 years is that we're going to see more young women of color whose families have cracked that "inner circle"--even in Texas and
some parts of the South. What's going to happen to them? It'll be interesting to find out.
