The student newspaper in Tuscaloosa, the Crimson White, ran a story that quotes sorority members who say they wanted to recruit at least two black candidates but the students' names were removed before members could vote on them.
One of the black women who sorority members say was pulled from consideration seemed the perfect recruit. She had a 4.3 grade point average. And she's from an influential family — the step granddaughter of Alabama Judge John England who is a University Trustee.
"Race may have played a factor or may even been the reason why, though not necessarily from the young people but from some alumni," says Judge England.
