As someone who attended all 4 presentations I am pleased to say I'm very happy to see ADPi and Alpha Phi joining our wonderful Panhellenic Community. I hope to see some AOII loves ADPi and AOII loves Alpha Phi buttons soon!

Are there black women in NPC groups at Ole Miss? Or other women of color? I honestly thought I remembered a thread as recently as last year saying that there were still no black women in the NPC groups.

Obviously, the way I posed the question, women of color could be Asian, Latina, etc., too, and I have no idea how those groups are represented. I also recall, though, that Ole Miss is the only school I know of that doesn't arrange its recruitment to accomodate the Jewish High Holidays.

This is absolutely incorrect.

If I recall, the student body president is black...and a Phi Mu at Ole Miss. But if I recall from the photos, yes there are black women in quite a few of the NPC sororities on campus...
Correct me if I am wrong

No, that's at Bama. In a thread where she was mentioned, I was corrected for thinking that they were interchangeable :-)

Oh, man, I am clearly quite confused.

Kappa Alpha Theta and Phi Mu both currently have AA members at Ole Miss. Possibly other chapters, too. In the 70's, I clearly remember NPC chapters at Ole Miss that had members of Chinese, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern parentage.

Mississippi has an interesting ethnic mix -- not all blonde, blue eyed WASPs! There are many Chinese and Lebanese residents, especially in "The Delta" area. Not huge numbers, but the population of Mississippi is just shy of 3 million, so everyone stands out.

True! There were several Chinese girls who were Greek at Mississippi State in the seventies--I particularly remember 2 sweet Zeta sisters, one of whom also cheered.
