re: #181 Feline Fearless Leader

What if you didn’t belong to a “top shelf” fraternity?

When I went to UT-Austin in the early ’80s, the fraternities were very segregated. And not just by race. There waswere the white Christian frats (the majority), the handful of black frats (the minority), and a couple of specifically Jewish frats. I confess to only looking at a few frat/sorority web pages last week so I can’t say if this is the case NOW, but it sure looked like it to me. A more scientific study may prove me wrong (and I’d be HAPPY to be proven wrong in this instance.)

My sister went to the University of Houston a few years after me and she said the sororities there were at least somewhat integrated. She rushed but decided not to join because she didn’t have time in between school and work.

Edited to correct tense. I’m going to blame the head cold.
