I have known Collegiate panhellenics to make every effort to accommodate PNMs with a special need, so that that PNM could fully participate in rush. I have known of sororities who made accommodations for sisters with a special need. I had a deaf chapter sister when I was in college during the Dark Ages. She fully participated in all our rituals and activities and was a valued member of the chapter. The bottom line is, SHE took the initiative, and signed up for rush.

Preach! You are so right! My chapter (and others at the same school) had sisters with handicaps. New students are all given information on student organizations at orientation, and who has time to chase down PNMs in special categories? Why should we, recruitment information is available to them too! (Oh, I know. So we can check the boxes for NPC/some HQs that want to know how many "non-typical" women we pledged. Alpha Alpha, have you pledged 10% racially diverse women? And 5% handicapped women? And 5% overweight women? If you haven't, you will be penalized in some way. And by the way, feature all those women on your chapter website.)
Not that these women aren't welcome. They should just be selected on their own merits and not rammed down the sororities' throats.
