Sorority racism article Crimson White

<p>It appears base on current events that much has been accomplished as a result of the article in the Crimson but that much remains to be done. The administration at Alabama was concerned about the racial segregation which occurred during rush but until the article by the Crimson was published they were unable to properly diagnose the problem. The university had left the selection of the sorority members in the hands of the sororities themselves, and in general all of the Panhellenic sororities are racially diverse at the national level. What was uncovered by the article was the sorority alumni advisors ability to prevent AA recruits for receiving bids. By removing the alumni influence from the bid process several AA recruits received and accepted bids from previously segregated sororities. In order to continue this process I think other changes should be made. I think that rush should be completely integrated and that recruits be permitted to submit a letter of recommendation from their high school guidance counselor instead of a letter of recommendation from a sorority alumni.</p>
