diverse rushing

Do sororitys have diversity quotas? Are they actively seeking diverse members

honestly, it's not hard to see that certain sororities have certain "looks" while others are more diverse. Obviously, if you stand out and fit the personality type you can still get top tier, but from seeing it first-hand I think being a minority is a limitation. all people just have implicit biases, even minority girls themselves. If a minority PNM and a white PNM both have the same personality type, upperclassmen friends, gpa, etc. but only one bid can be given, it's not hard to assume that most likely, the white PNM, who fits in more with the sorority "look" will get the bid. just the facts. nothing really OGL can do about this, it's just the way people think.

The truth is that certain sororities have very few minority members. That's how it is. But there are others that are very open to diversity.

Keep in mind that the number of minority girls who rush is also relatively small compared to non-minorities. If the majority of people who rush are white, the majority of a house is going to be white. If more minorities rush one year, there'll be more per house. It just varies

This is absolutely true, girls who go through recruitment are predominantly white, so obviously the majority in a house will be white, but it should also be acknowledged that there are definitely houses that have far more diversity than others.

i'm a little sick of "not many minority girls rush to begin with" being used as an excuse for not having diverse sororities. that's like saying "the reason that there aren't more women in politics is because women aren't interested to begin with." if there weren't a precedent set already that the realm of sorority life was created by and for a certain demographic, there wouldn't be a problem with diversity. so yeah, i would say being of a minority group is gonna be a bit of a disadvantage at some houses. that being said, there are also a handful of houses that are noticeably more diverse and open-minded and don't care about whether you fit the house aesthetic.

All sororities should be actively recruiting minorities, including top tiers. Several minority women feel uncomfortable rushing due to the social landscape of the school. This is issue needs to be addressed because minorities are not given a fair shot in actuality. The greek life office needs to do more and so do chapters themselves in order to allieviate this problem and make chapters more diverse and accepting of other types while also maintaining their identities
