Out of all of our chapters, the most diverse is UC Riverside - they have three Mexican American brothers, 2 white brothers, and one South Asian brother.

True- Pi Delta Psi at UCR is pretty diverse, as are most organizations at UCR. Being that UCI has comparable ethnicity demographics, I'm going to assume their orgs are almost as diverse, if not more.
My understanding of many ethnic-based or ethnic-interest Greek orgs were founded (in addition to what L.O.C.K. stated) is that the organizations have an interest in making the general campus and community more aware of the targeted ethnicity and the culture(s) related to it, and to provide services and/or philanthropic support to organizations related to the targeted ethnicity. For example, several of our organizations that identify as Asian-American (Greeks and non-Greeks) support local blood and bone marrow banks that specifically work with Asians and Asian-Americans.
Is my understanding in any way accurate?
