LOL!
I would find it amazing if practically any NPC alumna joined an association. Or frankly, an NPHC young lady transferring to a graduate/alumnae chapter.

Well the reality is the vast majority of NPC women never join an alumnae group, regardless of race, so whether members of color would join based on sense of welcome or community ties or whatever (or not) would be even harder to gauge.

Me too! Antecdotally, I get the feeling that Black NPC alumnae stay involved for longer as alumnae (on average) than their white counterparts. Maybe because there are so few and they/we stand out? Maybe I'm making that up?
Again--let me know how these women fare in a few years and I can tell you if this integration was a success.

On a similar issue, did ADPi select any women of color for the colony at Ole Miss? I tried to snoop but the group was so big that the faces were indistinguishable. It seems like a colony is a good time to break some of those historical trends.

You are not.
Also, this whole thing makes me picture Oprah standing up and being like "YOU GET A BLACK GIRL! YOU GET A BLACK GIRL! EVERYBODY GETS BLACK GIRLS!"
There has to be a gif for that.

LOL. Please someone create that Oprah image.
Yeah this is just...interesting. Pardon some of us for not drinking the Kumbaya kool-aid. But we could probably tell from the end of that other thread that this quick response would be attempted.

There were no historical trends to be broken at Ole Miss. Some of the sororities have already had black members at Ole Miss for many years. Yes, some are still segregated, but not all groups.

I'm also not drinking the Kool-Aid. I can't jump up and down and think that this is wonderful and refreshing. This just seems too.. convenient? I'm not even sure that's the word I'm looking for, but it just feels like, "Hey, look at us.. we gave a bid to a black girl!" or, "If we take a black girl, no one will think that we're racist." It was too.. staged.. set up. Let's face it: a situation was specifically created to bid minorities.
I mean, people are actually counting how many minorities were given bids. Pictures of the ADPi colony are being tracked down to see if there are any darker faces in the crowd.
I'm not as interested in whether or not minority NPC members are involved after college as much as I am curious to see if this trend continues in formal recruitment, and if chapters continue to fairly look at ALL potential members, regardless of their race.

*Falls out* 
All I picture is a bunch of girls screaming/clapping/cheering and running to hug the nearest Black girl...

The word you are looking for is "tokenism."

They're even wearing white! How perfect for new member ceremonies that require white dresses!
I'm interested to see how many non-white girls go through next year and how many of THOSE girls get bids without a giant national spotlight shining on Alabama recruitment.

Agreed- that picture is perfect.
I would bet dollars to donuts the national spotlight will be on Bama's recruitment next year.
