<p>“AnnieBeats - I think you are painting with way too broad a brush here. I worked as a travelling leadership consultant for my fraternity after graduation and was responsible for approximately 40 chapters at universities throught the northeast, great plains and midwest. That was almost 20 years ago, and I never encountered a university whose greek system was segregated in the manner you discuss.”</p>
<p>Anniebeats, you can’t conflate normal Greek systems with the Greek systems of the south. I’ve said this before on CC, but thirty years ago in my (upper midwest) Greek system, my (traditionally white) house had a Hispanic president one year and a black president another year and no one thought twice. My H’s house (traditionally white) had a black president and no one thought twice. This was 30 years ago. I can go on the website and see girls of all different ethnic backgrounds. No one gives a ****. Compare and contrast with the recent debacle at Alabama where omg-a-black-girl-might-want-to-join-oh-the-horrorz. Please stop conflating those systems, ok? </p>
