Hey audaz! I was meaning to post this but forgot. From the Demographics section of your national website:

Sigma Lambda Gamma believes that Culture is Pride, Pride is Success. We explore the richness in the traditions of Latina culture. This encompasses the cultural heritages of Native Americans (North, Central and South), Europeans, Africans, Asians and their multiple and interesting mixtures. We celebrate the diversity of the backgrounds of all the members of our sorority. Through these efforts in cultural awareness, we expect that each woman will explore their roots and traditions and share those with other individuals so that cultural understanding and respect are promoted. We hope to create new traditions for future generations of women to celebrate their identity and heritage with pride and joy throughout the college years.[/b]

This backs up what I was saying before about the fact that broad cultures have enormous diversity within them. Would you still say that

The programming offered by Sigma Lambda Gamma should be multicultural in aspect if only to fulfill our vision statement, if not, and this should be the real purpose, to fulfill each member's personal values and desires for the growth and education of every woman, something we all should hold dear to us.

or should non-Latinas be expected to fulfill the organization's dedication to "explore the richness in the traditions of Latina culture."
(Or am I completely misreading your previous statements??)
