I know ALL about y'all! Much love to ya! The only two orgs I, personally, can confirm are HWT and QNX. Now that you have solidly confirmed your org, I'll note that in the other post.

I think it's interesting how many local/regional multicultural sororities there are. If you do a websearch on locals there seem to be over 50. I know I've always wondered why it seems that people are starting brand new sororities instead of joining one of the many established organizations. I understand that everyone wants a different focus, but from what I can tell, the 5 you have listed as national all seem to have a slightly different spin on things.
Indeed. I love to see new organizations flourish, but I'm afraid that many new multicultural orgs are fizzling out as soon as they start. The founders get fired up but they don't seem to be able to bring new blood in at a good rate.

That leads to my next question...what do you think the future is for multicultural sororities. Obviously we all are expanding every year to new schools, but do you think that there will ever be a strong multicultural council with bonds like NPHC or NPC? I think it would be great, but, it doesn't seem like anything in the immediate future. I think that would help with a national understanding for who we are and what we stand for, instead of the confusion, especially with groups that seem to not fall under the definition of a multicultural sorority.
I would LOVE to hear people's ideas on the future of mc orgs. Honestly, the two most established councils (NMGC and NAGC) for mc orgs do not, in my opinion, serve the needs of these organizations appropriately.

I also believe that, since mc sororities and fraternities don't really have a common foundational bond, we should be focusing on separate - but mutually supportive - councils for fraternities and sororities. I'd like to see the founding of a National Multicultural Sorority Council (NMSC) but of the national sororities I listed DXF is already NMGC and ZCF is NAGC.

That leaves ZSC, DGP and QNX.

To be honest, I would be happy to see these three sororities involved in national governing body. However, I'd prefer to see a "conference" with agreements that we promise to follow rather than a "council" that makes laws for our orgs. I think a conference would remain more sisterly.


ETA: NEWSFLASH! Delta Xi Nu seems to have broken out of its region and gone national!!

So that means that we have ZSC, DGP, QNX and DXN for a potential council.
