Well said. I've often felt the same way. However, knowing a little about the expansion of Latin Greeks I know that when many of them were founded, they were often considered multicultural by their campuses because they represented a portion of the community that had not previosuly been represented culturally in the Greek world. I guess at this point, it is confusing for aspirants who are looking for a true multicultural organization but find GLO's that focus on one cultural tradition.
