I read the buzzfeed article a few days ago. I thought it seemed fair. I felt like it didn't blame the sororities specifically because it acknowledged that they're not in a bubble. Race issues are still alive throughout the school, state, region, etc.
I appreciated that so many of the groups and members followed HQ rules and deferred to HQ PR teams, including those that could come out looking better than worse.
I don't get why people can't believe that sororities don't track race. I've never indicated my race on any form for my sorority. Honestly, if they did, the less diverse chapters probably would have had some heat a long time ago.
Alabama is making progress. Iceberg slow but still.
The chapter members need to be open and there needs to be a pool of PNMs that can help improve the diversity. If formal rush continues to have few to no non-whites and chapters max out quota/total during formal, they'll continue to be white. More chapters need to actively seek out diversity during COB and Panhel needs to actively attract diversity to the formal rush PNM pool.
