College has not always been easily accessible to women or women of color and NPC groups have not always been accessible to women of color. The first woman of color initiated into an NPC at my alma mater in 1992 (very liberal, urban, high African American population campus). The first man of color was initiated into an IFC fraternity on my campus in 1986. It was a BIG deal both times, causing a big uproar. There are more women of color attending college than before and there are more women of color joining NPCs but it is still far from the norm on most campuses. The percentages of women of color in NPCs are not the same as the percentages of women of color on college campuses. When that's true, then I would say it has become the norm.
I think KSUViolet has more awareness into this than most of us, frankly.
The legacy factor has a big influence also.
