[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The diversity push is coming from majority white orgs.  Notice that Black greek orgs have no desire for diversity; thus, you will notice Black students largely stay quiet about the lack of diversity in greek orgs. I don’t blame them. They want a club of like minded, like experience and like looking people. Makes sense and is human nature. We migrate to people similar to ourselves.[/quote]

It's only bad if you're white though which is so humorous, especially with the sappy white guilt European mutt that keeps yammering on...pathetic.[/quote]

PP and kinda - it’s only bad to rich white liberal parents like the “European mutt” lady who thinks by saying that she is being so woke and she thinks her Black friend thinks it’s awesome. Can you imagine saying that to a Black person as some sign of diversity? Anyway, back to the greek thing, on campuses, there is jus a benign neglect attitude about the self segregation. Greek orgs can only invite those to join who show up for rush. They can’t go around campus and just demand random students join up.

We also view this from a white lens and our needs without understanding that many Black students might not want to join Black greek orgs - which btw have a much, much, much tougher rush and initiation process from what I have witnessed - but they might feel pressure from family or friends to also not join what is viewed as a “white” sorority.  I heard this from one of my own sorority sisters and from my roommate in college who joined the most blonde, rich, snotty girl sorority on campus. She did fit right in and it was definitely her group of people but she had Black friends who stopped talking to her over it. As an aside - from the outside it just looks like blonde hair, but it was really was this whole aesthetic. They spent a lot of time of their hair, makeup, clothes and jewelry and really cared about brands all the time. They dressed up every time they left home and they enjoyed doing it. My roommate was that kind of girl to a T . [/quote]
