When you look at bid day pictures from around the US you can see a lot of diversity. One recent set of bid day pictures showed a black girl in 3 of the 4 chapters (relatively small, so nearly 10% of the pledge classes). If this was something that was really important to a girl of color, I think she might consider a more inclusive university. Now, do you pick where to get your undergraduate degree based on how open the sororities are to diversity? Man, I hope not. But I wonder if it's indicative of the campus culture at large. And then I think it's a valid consideration. This isn't separate but equal - there are a lot of very good schools out there that have 21st century thinking about race.
