Also, as preciousjeni said, NPHC is not ashamed to say they are culturally based. You never heard of a Delta or AKA saying yeah we're a multicultural sorority have you? No. And you never will, even though they have a multicultural membership, they will never sway from their roots. Their programming reflects their roots, not the fact they happen to have a member or two that are not African-American. I think what me, preciousjeni, and Private I are trying to get across (and please please correct me if this is off base) is that is seems that some Latina/o chapters and/or orgs seem to be okay with swaying from their culturally founded roots to claim to be multicultural when they are not. It makes no sense if you are proud of what you pledged to claim to be something you're not, especially when NOBODY was claiming to be multicultural until recently. I think myself, I just am trying to understand why.

Sigma Lambda Beta is a Latino-based Multicultural Fraternity. What this means is that we were founded by mostly latinos, but our principles state we are based on cultural understanding. Also our membership grows more multicultural by the day, but I do not feel that we are perpetrating because we have begun to do more different programming nor to appear more attractive on our campus.
