Bottom line is my sister pledged and then dropped in ‘83 because she saw racism, my university had 1 black IFC member at that time, and when one of my chapter sisters dated his roommate (also black) it was a scandal. It’s almost FORTY YEARS later and we’re still having this conversation. That right there says things haven’t progressed as they should have.

I'm sorry that was your sister's experience during her college years, but I can attest that 40 years ago that wasn't the situation at my SoCal university. Yes the majority of the members were white however there were African American, Hispanic, Asian and biracial members in our NPC sororities and IFC fraternities. So interracial dating was not unheard of then.
