My daughter is also applying to Rhodes. She is white. Rhodes is a wonderful school and no they are not a white school. While, yes, statistically the largest racial group is white Rhodes has a diverse study body. I agree that the racial break down is based on those who have applied. When you look at their web site you see people of different races. When my daughter toured the school the person who walked around with her was Asian American and we definitely saw other students of different racial backgrounds.
As far as greek life it is my understanding that the greek life is very prominent at Rhodes but when they have parties they are open to the whole student body after a certain time. My daughter is keeping an open mind and she is not sure what she wants to do at this point, if she gets accepted, as far as joining a sorority.
