Exactly. It is strange that she came here for such advice and that people spelled it out for her.

I was reading this and thinking are they seriously answering her? The last sentence in her post speaks volumes especially the need to specify "full" Black.

Hilarious. A "full" Black woman is able to rush and receive a bid but the "Sounds of Blackness" can't be overcome in the end.

They also shouldn't have answered it if she was "fully" white. You're either grown and capable of figuring some basic things out on your own or you aren't. If you aren't, please leave Greekdom to those who are. We don't raise children.

I saw the full Black part too but just decided to ignore it because I didn't even know what to say to that.

This apparently is a semi-common problem and I think it's because so many NPC groups make a point of not "separating" the pledges - but for a lot of women (especially in large chapters) pledgeship is the only time that they really get to stand out unless they're a superachiever type. When you get immediately integrated into a chapter and are allowed to do all the things initiated members do, it's easy to be overlooked (esp in large chapters).

Ugh. I admit it. I did NOT see/read that line.
