Hello! I starting this thread due to some discussions
here.
My sorority is multicultural, but we are not currently eligible to join the NMGC. Actually, it never came up formally.
There are some pretty big (big in relation to MCGLOs) organizations out there who are not members (like Theta Nu Xi and Omega Delta). On one hand, I feel very encouraged to see that there is an umbrella organization which is just for us. On the other hand, many or the organizations formed in the same regional area (the Northeast) so you sort of feel that they've been familiar with each other and working together for quite some time. Is the NMGC incorporated...and if so, does it offer any logistical services like insurance, legal faciliatation, collegiate advocacy? Are there any plans or goals for this?
I feel the biggest problem facing MCGLOs is recognition; from both collegians and the schools. The NMGC for the present, seems like a badge, and not really an advocate. I fully admit that I could be totally wrong. But it is a bit hard to garnish an objective opinion of the organization.
Understand I am all for our own national governing body. Currently, I feel that my organization is a local because that how we approach the schools; although we have active sisters in multiple States. It's a weird position to be in. Again, perhaps the NMGC is pushing for some sort of program that will make it easier for MCGLOs....but I have not seen or heard the details.
