I personally don’t have any Vanderbilt experience, so take this with a grain of salt, but it is 50 percent white, with a 10 percent black student population. Did a bit of research, stalked all the instagrams, had a lot of time in my hands. here’s the results.
ALPHA CHI OMEGA - 1 Indian woman, 2 East Asian women, 1 Muslim woman, the rest are either white or white passing Hispanic.
ALPHA DELTA PI - 1 Pakistani woman, 1 East Asian woman, rest are white or white passing.
Chi Omega - 2 Indian women, 2 East Asian women, the rest are white or white passing.
TRI DELTA - 2 Black women, 2 Indian women, 4 Asian women, the rest are white or white passing.
KAPPA ALPHA THETA - 1 Indian woman and 1 Asian woman, the rest are white.
KAPPA DELTA - 2 mixed women, 2 indigenous women, 3 East Asian women, rest are white.
KAPPA KAPPA GAMMA - 3 Black Women, 5 Asian women, the rest are white.
PI BETA PHI - 2 Indian women, 2 Asian women, the rest are white.
ZETA - 3 Indian/Pakistani women, 3 Asian women, the rest are white.
In a student body survey, around 57 percent of students identified as liberal/ democratic.
There are about 3 clubs for Black cultural immersion.
As a person who is also raised biracial in a mostly white place in SoCal, I’d say Vanderbilt is moderate with a slight left lean. It would defiantly be a big difference from here in California. The only advice I can give is to not expect much knowledge or empathy on racial issues, if anything expect ignorance.
Hoped this helped.
