Lack of Ethnic Diversity in Bama's sororities worry future rushee

[KSUViolet06]

The whole Melody Twilley thing has been discussed a few times on GC and I'm pretty sure there were some members of the org she ended up founding posting here at some point. There was also quite a bit of discussion re: Bama going on when one of the chapters pledged a Black woman about 6ish years ago. I don't remember which chapter it was though (Gamma Phi maybe?)

"In 2003, Carla Ferguson, a black student, was offered membership in the Gamma Phi Beta sorority.

With Ferguson’s admittance, attention on the matter flared and then died down. It seemed as if Gamma Phi Beta had made the first step toward integration."
