How much does being a minority affect your chances of being in a top fraternity or sorority? Please be honest and tell the truth

honest not really because there are a lot less minorities in greek life and frats/srats have to take some so your chance proportionally is equal

It makes no difference but a lot of people like to stir this issue up and act like it is a problem. It is totally uncomfortable for us POC who r in Greek life cuz they r creating beef.

It was more of a problem in the past (like 3 years ago) for certain sororities from mid and up but they consciously chose to do better, so good for them for finally getting there. And there's a couple top chapters who have always made an effort to be more diverse. Behind the scenes of recruitment, certain chapters might be racially biased with which girls they let recruit... but I've only heard of it happening with specific mid tier chapters, ironically. Or not ironically if you know how hard they try to social climb.

for top frats tho, sometimes they have this weird quota thing going on. idk. not my business.

Honestly, at least for fraternities, not that much. Everybody likes to portray themselves as woke and open minded so if you actually fit in with the people from that house and you’re a minority, not only will it not hurt you, you’ll be a slam-dunk. Having a personality that fits the fraternity and being somewhat good looking is all they really look for (race and attractiveness/personality are two separate things and one doesn’t affect the other). It wouldn’t be the sole reason you get a bid but given that you’re likeable and not awkward you shouldn’t have any issues.
