What do NIC/NPC orgs do *specifically* to benefit the Black/Latino/Asian communities? I don't see the organizations as a whole maintaining a committment to communities of color.

Studies have bee done on this. The results show that ethnicity is something one can't really be open about in many (not all) NPC/NIC chapters.

Every organization was founded on certain values/beliefs. You're not going to see minority Greek organization membership go down until you see increased racial integration across NIC/NPC orgs as a whole (which is a LONG way off) and true equality for all people in this country. That's the reality.

If those guys want to start a chapter of whatever fraternity it is, let them. Minority Greeks focus on specific communities. If NPC/NIC organizations aren't helping those communities, then don't complain when people join those organizations.

You make some great points, but even if predominantly WGLOs didn't exclude people of color, and some don't, I still wouldn't be interested in a predominantly white fraternity, simply because of some of the things that they do.

If BGLOs never existed then I would just be a GDI. I have no interest in predominantly WGLOs. I wouldn't even say it's a matter of fitting in, because I didn't fit into my organization from the start, at least at my school I didn't. I'm the total opposite of a lot of my fraternity brothers, and they tease about my personality all the time, but I feel comfortable around them and I can identify with them and I know I couldn't identify with guys in a predominantly WGLO.
