If you are truly trying to be MC, that's great! But don't switch to increase membership or b/c there seems to be a lack of interest from the Latino community. It's very confusing and frankly, it's not serving the true intent of the org's foundation. Again, switching is fine, but to me it should be done on a national level so that everyone (members and interests) is on the same page.
I hear you. I just don't think switching is fine. At all. I don't think you can be part of a national organization and just change things around to "increase numbers" on your campus. I'd rather we die out on a specific campus (and we have) and stay true to our focus/potential members then to switch up. Somehow, that seems so disingenuous.
