In some ways yes, in some ways no. Some chapters more so, others less.

In and of themselves, strong organizations run, headed and founded by intelligent, determined women for hundreds of years is an ode to women in and of itself.

If anything I'd say sororities are "womanist", or pro-female, more or less, as generally all of our ideals co-align with philanthropy, sisterhood and strong moral codes and creeds.

On the other hand, I've read disturbing accounts of racism in Greek life, particularly in southern schools, though I'm sure it exists across the board. Greek life is not exclusively "white", but it tends to ultimately favor white, cis-gendered, straight women. There are definitely areas of Greek life to critique, and I think discussions like these are essential and important and should not be stamped out.
