blacks in greek life
by: I need factsEveryone is talking about a certain house not talking blacks but I'm wondering if anyone can tell me how many black women are Greek at Mizzou? How many black women are in each house? How many rush every year? How many drop before bid day and how many actually get bids? I've looked at several tumblers and I'm not seeing any in the majority of houses. I would love for this to be clarified. It sounds like Mizzou Greek life as a whole has an issue. Facts only please!

If YOU can't get those "facts," how do you propose WE get those facts? I get it. You think that if we don't have statistics to show that some houses are more welcoming to minorities than others, that it must not be true. Well, have you ever heard of anecdotal evidence? Anecdotally, I can tell you that when I walk through Greek Town on pretty spring afternoons I see many minority faces in front of some houses, but not all houses. You should try it some time, and then believe what you see. I believe what I see, and that was a member of a sorority partying with a confederate flag in the background. Are you denying that happened?

@yes! And @omg is the same troll that hates on APhi, she can't stand houses that are known for looks + just loves to argue online with anyone she can. She started coming on here after some of our school's drama and hasn't left since. Yawn, move on!

Everyone loves to judge, but when you ask for specific facts , everyone is quite because I believe Mizzou greek system as a whole does not have enough black women. If you have a house of 300 and 1% is black that's not good enough.

This troll can't give a number because she doesn't go to school here. She could only give you 2014's data because it's the only info posted online. So pathetic, please stop trying to stand up for schools and houses that you don't know about. Nobody is thanking you.

A few girls have spent months focusing on one house who actually has a very diverse group of women claiming they aren't. They focused on how many black women they have when in reality most houses don't have black women or at the most one or two. If we don't have enough Black women rushing, how can we change that? What steps can we make as a Greek community to change that? Bashing a house isn't helping. We need real change!

Efforts need to be made to bring IFC/PHA/ NPHC together. Show support through attending events that NPHC puts on, or things supported through the multi-cultural center/BCC. Your house can say they are accepting of all people, but it is not shown until action is taken.Bashing houses on here is only going to turn more woman of color off to the idea of rushing a PHA sorority.

Pairing the historically black fraternities and sororities with the IFC and PHA pairs during homecoming and Greek Week competitions? That would encourage cooperation and build relationships between the groups, and when PNM's see that, maybe they would be more likely to join one of the groups, no matter what the "traditional" racial makeup of the group is.

Are you trying to stir up something, or are you truly interested?
What Mizzou doesn't need is more of the same, we are working hard to change our ways/image.
All members of PHA/IFC, as well as the Greek Life office, have gone through diversity training/education. We all WANT diverse members and do everything we can to be inclusive and make EVERY member feel included.
If you're willing to allow a change in your attitude and to open your mind up to the possibilities, and you have the grades/activities/honors/means to qualify and go thru recruitment, then Mizzou's PHA/IFC is willing to consider you as a potential new member.

Why would they give you a faceless anonymous person an apology on Greek rank. They don't owe YOU ANYTHING!!! You have zero clue how this was handles internally by their house and Nationals and its none of your business. Say what you want about me, I don't care. Im also NOT a GPHI!! Just really tired of the continuous slandering of this house. Let's face it nothing they do would be to your elitest standards.
