[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd have her do some homework on the origins of Greek life in the US ASAP. It's painfully offensive stuff. I would hope that the average White person would have zero interest in perpetuating the Greek system. And a Black or Latino who thinks this is okay? SMH. https://www.propublica.org/article/ole-miss-students-pose-with-guns-in-front-of-shot-up-emmett-till-memorial  And you're talking about her joining these people at a school located in the state where the capitol of the confederacy was literally located. Wake up, OP! https://blog.royalhistsoc.org/2021/07/28/why-historically-white-sororities-and-fraternities-are-racially-problematic-in-us-universities/

As for getting a bid, if she looks like Selena Gomez or Penelope Cruz, she likely won't have a problem. Everyone will just treat her like a fellow conventionally pretty White girl. If she's got the coloring and body type of America Ferrara, she probably will have trouble, unless they decide to hold her up as a token of their wokeness.

The other thing to consider is that her fellow POC students will not look positively upon her pandering to join the Hellenic types who make POC feel unwelcome and excluded on the campuses of UVA and VT. And the non-clueless White students will also look askance at it. Remember that the "You will not replace us" rally took place in Charlottesville. https://www.vogue.com/article/uva-after-charlottesville-attack[/quote]

"Fellow POC students" like these?  You are ridiculous.

These two happen to just be two examples of quite diverse sororities at UVA. There are several others. It's literally just the top ones, Kappa Kappa Gamma, Tri-delt and Theta that tend to be less diverse.[/quote]
