To your first point: It's not just about who should be
allowed to participate as a sorority member. A college student has to
earn the right to join, and then participate in, a sorority by performing and maintaining simple standards of education and conduct.
To answer your second point: The answer remains to be seen. Any changes that have been made/not made must be given time to take root, and results collected and examined. As the Magic 8 Ball might state, ask again later.
Your third point is your opinion. Each NPC sorority handles membership affordability in their own manner. Based upon my own sorority experience I cannot say as easily as you do that only socioeconomically advantaged women are able to start and maintain a lifelong sorority membership.
And as to your fourth point: Yes.The NPC, and her many millions of members, care about diversity/having a diverse membership. We as sorority women have, can, and are continuing to strengthen our lives, hearts and minds thru enhanced diversity discussions and practices.
