Thumbs up

I truly have to say I am impressed with this entire string and with everyone who is so willing to express their personal opinion. Even if we don't agree, and least there is a discussion happening.

Personally -
I am a Black women raised in Latin America, Asia, and Europe, and it has been damn hard to find a sorority I felt comfortable with. I was raised in such a diverse cultural environment that pledging the GLOs and BGLOs at the schools I attended (one very southern, one an HBCU)almost seemed absurd. I had very little in common with either group, though "racially" I was Black...and told by MANY that "culturally" I was White (whatever that means):rolleyes. These campuses didn't have Latina, Asian, or Multicultural orgs. and the people I did have a great deal in common with weren't into sororities anyway. It's only now, after searching for 10 years, that I have found an organization which, I believe, accepts me for who I am and what I stand for.

In essence, you must go with what's in your heart. Be true to who YOU are! Not matter which organization you join, in the end, it's not about race... it's about friendship.
