I don’t get it. If it’s true that race is not a barrier to entry into white fraternities, why do the white fraternities featured in Vandy’s greek life guide seem to feature little to no students of (any-but-white) color at all, besides a token?



…because not a lot of non-whites are interested in Greek life in the first place? When I attended a Greek Life interest event at the beginning of the year that was pretty much mandatory for anyone who wanted to rush, I saw very few minorities attending. Plus I know of several minorities who are pledging white fraternities this semester, and there are probably more.
