That bad press did not affect their intake one little bit.
This thread makes me feel like some kind of naive Pollyanna. I'm acutely aware that there's a giant problem with racism in this country...but somehow I expect people to be ashamed of it. In particular, I guess I kind of expect national sororities to take their values seriously and actually work to build better women. I expect them to try a little harder than this. I did not expect them to deliberately tolerate blatant racism in the operation of their official functions. This is not a glass ceiling we're talking about here. We're talking about suggesting that a member be forced to go alum because she kissed a black guy.
It sickens me to think of all the nonwhite members of this GLO taking vows of loyalty to a sorority which is being profoundly disloyal to them. Their chapters love them, but what is the meaning of national sisterhood in light of this kind of betrayal?
On a related note, does anyone know when the various historically white GLOs removed the whites-only clauses from their constitutions? How long has it been?
