Good discussion...

I know a lot of Black, Latino/a, and Asian Greeks are marketing themselves as Multicultural these days in the fact that usually you see a statement along the lines of "we are historically serving the X community, but we are NOT X exclusive".

However, it is clear that most have a high percentage of one race/ethnicity. My fraternity is like 95% Asian I think (I counted, I'm a nerd. ).

In any case, we're obviously not Asian exclusive (I'm like the waspiest kid you'll meet )

However, I think Multicultural Greeks (not BGLO, LGLO, AGLO) are in a difficult situation. We're such a segregated society, that it's hard to find people like this. I commend the orgs that are about Multiculturalism though for their work.



And to diane128634 that was posting earlier about Asian Greeks:

You make a lot of excellent points. It's a constant battle that is being fought. I think you have viable concerns and points, and I'd love to help with your frustrations. Feel free to PM me.

Thanks
Nate
