Do high ranked frats at University of texas Austin such as Delta tau delta, kappa sig, pike, and ATO allow non whites such as asians or indians?

Nope. It's against UT's policies and procedures. Might even be against the law.

Sorry

They do not "allow" "non-whites". As chapters of great regard and in high demand they extend invitations to those they want to be members. And that invitation is not guided by race. It is guided by your background and you as a person and your reputation as established in high school. Race in and of itself is not ever a point of decision.

And if we must have the tier conversation- two of the chapters you name do not even come close to being "top tier" at UT.

Texas is an extremely competitive school for fraternities and sororities. But for a southern school it is also at the forefront for not caring about issues like race and religion. In that respect it mirrors Texas society.

The fact you ask this question on this site does not bode well for your chances, but not for the reason you seem to think.

? Are you agreeing with the OP? I only ask because the question is inane. If we must go there- the racial makeup of "top tier" guys is more diverse than you think.

It is a silly question to consider- we who were there understand the question. There are many barriers- but they are not racially driven.

Which Texas "society" is that?

^ the hippie Austin society. They are a fairly liberal city, if you hang around the right neighbourhoods.

DrPhil · #8 10-22-2010, 01:18 AM

Oh ok, thanks. The right neighborhoods of the hippie part of the fairly liberal city of Austin is not "Texas society."

Yeah, sorry op. The law is as strict as the brothel law.

Yes. However, it is really bad form to talk about tiers around here, and it will be very bad form to talk like that on campus. Also bad form to use the word "frat". Get to know men in fraternities, and if you like them, and they like you, hopefully they will offer you an invitation to membership.

Sarcasm? On Greekchat? Alert the media!

Since you're so concerned with tiers, I'm going to give you a free clue. None of the groups you mentioned would remotely be considered "high tier" and only one would be considered "high middle."

Pretty much every guy I know has found the right group for him if he's kept an open mind. There are so many fraternities here, you'll fit in somewhere.

Must we really be so nasty to the OP? He is a clueless high schooler, obviously, but it is entirely valid to be concerned about how fraternities may view a non-white. Keep in mind that many national orgs discriminated very openly at points in their history.

The sarcasm the OP grasped is completely missed on you.

DUH. We've had tons of threads on that and many GCers aren't in denial.

What we don't know is whether or not the specific chapters he is asking about discriminate. Even members of those chapters who post here would claim they don't. Whether or not they do is something he will need to figure out on his own.
