Lucy Anne, I think you're misreading what was being said and why it was said. If you're not really understanding the what's, who's, and why's, just back out for your sanity's sake, if nothing else.
You're about to step into a river while thinking it's a puddle and end up wondering, "how EVER did I get in this?"

Same here. I've inserted myself in an NPC-oriented discussion and either been ignored completely or been told to shut up and sit down (in a nice way).

Don't know which is worse, but oh well.

Haha! Well at least that one goes BOTH ways, right?

Im not sure if it is because the minorities do not rush or because they are denied membership??

The whole thing worries me and I could use some guidance.
Thank yall

ps. im sure this is a touchy topic but.....the truth is always nice...ill take PMs too!

Sorry for the old bump, but this is the closest thread I could find which pertained to this. I'm surprised no one else has posted this story yet.... either that or it was posted and got heated and deleted and I missed it. So.... I'm sorry if I'm opening a can of worms with this, but....really, Bama?

And yes, I KNOW that membership selection processes are private, but don't be stupid. I have a hard time believing that a white girl with the same personality and same credentials would have been dropped from ALL sororities on the campus.

The whole Melody Twilley thing has been discussed a few times on GC and I'm pretty sure there were some members of the org she ended up founding posting here at some point. There was also quite a bit of discussion re: Bama going on when one of the chapters pledged a Black woman about 6ish years ago. I don't remember which chapter it was though (Gamma Phi maybe?)

Double posting, but other Melody/Alpha Delta Sigma related threads from forever ago.

Good memory!!

http://cw.ua.edu/2011/09/15/witt-def...-greek-system/

"In 2003, Carla Ferguson, a black student, was offered membership in the Gamma Phi Beta sorority.

With Ferguson’s admittance, attention on the matter flared and then died down. It seemed as if Gamma Phi Beta had made the first step toward integration."
