Racial issues is quite a subconscious thing in greek stuff, in my opinion. It appears that most rushees will "feel better and more comfortable" to rush in a fraternity of culturally/ethnically similar interests. If you look on campus, you may notice some frats/sors founded on an ethnic basis. Those that where founded by Caucasian members tend to stay Caucasian. Only when some 'different shade of the rainbow' have the couraged to go for it, he/she could start a whole new thing. For mine, this was a possible answer and also due to the population of the campus. Mt frat and chapter was founded by Caucasian boy scouts, but over the years, the California chapters have leaned more into the Asian side. Our college is a quite popular choice for Asians; 40% Asian, 50% Caucasian, 1% African, 15% Latino, then other. Mine is 90% Asian, but we do not encourage any biased pledging. I try to get our rush programs to involve a more diverse representation so rushees can see what it is possible.
