Based upon what I've seen from chapters of your sorority, sounds like a great way to put it. I do have a question - why is it necessary to add that you have multicultural membership? I am not doubting that you have a multicultural membership, I've seen it at several schools. But I think in today's society, all groups have a multicultural membership. I think that is where the split occurs - some people emphasize the Historically Latina part while others are emphasizing the Multicultural Membership part. Both may be right, but by emphasizing one over the other, it can indicate two different directions.
