I share something with all my sisters just in that we chose to become sisters for life.

prdlocal,

Maybe you didn't read my comment properly because I didn't say that people just want to be with people of their own race, I said that they want to have something in common with their sorority be that intrests, personality or yes even race. And I also never said anything about people being "comfortable" around people of their own race. Before write me off as writing a stupid or obvious comment by saying (very rudely I might add) "Well Duh" please ACTUALLY READ what I wrote.

Caramel Treat, nothing I said was directed towards you, so don't worry so much! I was just stating my own opinion, and didn't mean to attack you in any way!

I agree with an earlier post that a sorority can only be as diverse as the campus it is on and the group that goes thru Rush. As a member of a sorority from Univ of Southern Cal in the early 90's, there were many women of Asian and Hispanic descent in the NPC chapters, and quite a few African Americans in the NPC groups as well. There were many rumors at USC of certain houses discriminating based on certain factors such as money, car driven and beauty, but never, never, never did you hear of a house discriminating based on race. USC is a very diverse campus, and so were the women going through Rush.
