Their acceptance rate is almost 80% now.  And it’s a different world there.  Still segregated although not legally since 2012. It’s a public school but Christianity is everywhere.  The sororities still have rules from 100 years ago and are subservient to the fraternities.   And of course MAGAs are everywhere.  That’s not bias just facts.  [/quote]

My kid has a very diverse group of friends at bama, including two who are first generation Americans.

And I’ve spoken with black moms at campus events who explained why their daughters opted for black sororities: it’s a legacy and networking thing they prefer…not because the white sororities aren’t welcoming. If you know black professionals who were in black sororities, then you would understand why they prefer sticking with their sorority. [/quote]

They would be better off at more prestigious colleges like Spelman or Howard. 
Your kid must not be in a sorority because there is zero diversity there.   [/quote]

The lack of diversity in sororities in 2025 is because black students prefer to be a legacy in a black sorority precisely for the networking aspect or because their mom/grandma was in it.

The white sororities are trying to diversify but the black students prefer their own prestigious sororities. I know black women in their 40s/50s/60s who sport their sorority colors at networking events, etc. It’s a thing, and it’s their prerogative. But don’t blame others for their decision to stick with certain sororities. [/quote]

Interesting because I was there for homecoming and the sororities all march on the parade (probably mostly freshman).  There was a surprising amount of diversity. [/quote]
