It may just be me, but I see the answer to that question in the quote that you used from our national webpage.
"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."
The bolded sections of the above quote show that while we do emphasize the Latina cultures as a rule, each woman must contribute her own cultural background and knowledge to truly fulfill the mission of Sigma Lambda Gamma. The focus of each chapter of our organization is shaped by the membership of that chapter. There are no limits on what cultures Sigma Lambda Gamma will learn and teach about.
Is that what you were asking?
