Some food for thought

They did not feel comfortable with either, some felt they wanted to start a Greek Organization that they felt at ease with. Dont We all?

None or very many of us felt corret about crossing lines so to speak even though it has and will still be done.

It is just a matter of people feeling at ease with thier group.
Sorry it took me so long to reply, I was on vacation but...

Your point is understood (somewhat). But I urge you to do a little bit more research about the founding of multicultural orgs because many have NOT in fact sprung up because of a lack of the desire to expand by previous existing groups. As well as other orgs, i.e. Latino & Asian orgs. While people may find comfort in what you term as their "own" they were also addressing the needs of a community who's needs and presence were at the time of founding, under-represented.
