Certainly. My question is regarding whether or not you believe (A) that all members, including non-Latinas, of Sigma Lambda Gamma should be fulfilling the organization's commitment to "the richness in the traditions of Latina culture"

or

(B) that non-Latina members can expect that the organization will incorporate elements of their own cultures and move in a direction other than Latina culture?

[I broke up the sentence because it was way too long!]

The way I see these two options, (A) is what NPHCs currently do. Regardless of your background, if you join, you know you will be committed to the original purpose of serving the black community.

And, (B) is kinda what NPCs attempt to do, but we have to remember that these orgs are social not service or political. While they historically would have been more involved in issues related to Caucasians, as the chapters become more diverse, the events and programs are diversifying as well.
