There is one aspect about Latino/a Greeks and whether they are multicultural that seems to be forgotten. I think non-latino/a people often lump anyone from Mexico, Central and South America as all one cultural. Truly they are all very different from country to country. Or at least here in Los Angeles differences are made about where people are from.

From the women I know at work, in my sorority and some of the Latina Greeks (CSUDH has KDChis, SIAs, and Sigma Lambda Gamma) the women don't only celebrate the fact that they are Latina but their distinct cultural heritage. Let me tell you I've heard some interesting discussions between Mexican, El Savadoran, Guatemalan, Chilean, Puerto Rican, and Belizian women and the differences in their cultures. I have also learned a lot from these women about the differences as well.

So in essence although they are celebrating Latino/a culture they are truly multicultural in every sense of the word.
