Meh. Mike Pence is a FIJI. I'm sure it'll all even out.

I also question this assertion the Wapo made without evidence:

And it’s being reinforced by other members of the “Divine Nine” Black fraternities and sororities, with a total membership approaching 1 million, all working informally in their communities.

I strongly doubt that 100% of the Divine Nine are volunteering on the Biden campaign. Since only 8% of the U.S. population will either donate to, or volunteer on, a presidential election campaign - mobilizing 100% of a one million membership group would be the singularly largest accomplishment in the history of American political organizing and is simply beyond the limits of believability.

The reporter, Chelsea Jane, got the 2020 election beat after a couple years compiling box scores of San Diego Padres games as a junior reporter for MLB.com. If she'd quoted an expert source or provided data for her assertion that would be one thing, but she doesn't have the personal qualifications or journalistic pedigree that would give me any confidence in an unsourced assertion she made from her own independent analysis.

The article never said that every single eligible member of a D9 fraternity or sorority would vote for Biden/Harris, so I'm not sure why again you're attempting to pour gasoline on a dumpster fire. And frankly I'm not even touching on your point where you trash talk the reporter. Go back to watching RT or fox news.

Or that FIJIs will vote for Trump because of Pence's affiliation.
His rhetoric is more OAN or Breitbart than Trump TV (Faux).

If nothing else, the reports about Pence ratting out his house to the administration over kegs being stored in the house and then stating those kegs were house property rather than his own as was the custom.

He showed disloyalty to his house and threw them under the bus in order to take a job in the school's administration. I don't think that'll inspire the Greek vote.

This seems to be an on-going pattern with Pence. Maybe the fly on his head was taking aim.

Correct, it said 100% were working for Biden/Harris. See:

And it’s being reinforced by other members of the “Divine Nine” Black fraternities and sororities, with a total membership approaching 1 million, all working informally in their communities.

all - (Meridian Dictionary) the whole number of; every one

I'm not sure where you got I'm "trash talking" the reporter. I said the reporter, prior to her current stint, was a junior reporter for MLB.com covering the San Diego Padres. Which is true.
