should i bother rushing a sorority as a non-white person?

not white but kind of want to rush. I know it's notoriously pretty white girls and I do not fit that description. the only thing I really have going for me is that my family income is decent and I can hold a conversation pretty well. should I even bother rushing?

you should definitely rush and see for yourself. Some sororities are more diverse than others, although I don’t think any are as diverse as the one person commented, but most seem to be trying to change that

If you end up rushing, know that certain houses will cut you because you don’t fit into their idea of a member of their house. There will also be houses that call you back to be the token minority of your pc. And there will be some houses who will value you and your diversity.

Speaking from experience, just know there are certain houses which you will stick out like a sore thumb, especially if you are a black woman. There were certain houses during houses tour where I saw barely any faces or color in composites, and a couple houses where I saw no black faces at all in recent composites and it can be really uncomfortable. Also, some girls rushing you will drop subtle racial micro aggressions or similar stuff. If a house feels like it wouldn’t be welcoming to you because of your race, run. There’re a couple houses that seem to be like that during rush, so just be careful.

Not to call people out, but if you are a black woman or other POC rushing (but especially a black woman), just know that it will be easy to feel isolated or alone rushing houses like sdt or kkg or aphi.
