THE MECK REPORT --- THE MECK PODCAST: Alabama sorority alumnae, advisers blocked black rushees, students say | al.com - Melissa Brown - According to the CW, sorority member Melanie Gotz raised her hand and asked, “Are we not going to talk about the black girl?” The girl, according to the CW, should have been a prime candidate — a “4.3 GPA in high school, was salutatorian of her graduating class and comes from a family with deep roots in local and state public service and a direct link to The University of Alabama.” -- The Tri Delt member said the rushee was scored extremely well by members during the first round, and she believes sororities would have been fighting over recruiting the rushee -- if she weren't black. "The only thing that kept her back was the color of her skin in Tri Delt," she said. "She would have been a dog fight between all the sororities if she were white."
