I can see how at some schools it is important to have these oraganizations because they are large schools, but my school is small and all of the sororities and fraternities are already diverse. Bringing a Multi Cultural org. on campus would be like telling those that would join our sorority that they shouldn't because we're not "multi-cultural" like they are. It would seriously detract from our membership and being able to meet and associate with different girls. I do see the opinion that there is need for them at big schools however, where there are more people.
About the Greek Week thing that brownsugakdphi talked about, how can you expect any unity if people are so willing to segregate themselves? If the IFC and PHC want to have the other organizations participate, why not participate? Don't say that you are being predjudiced when your organization decides not to participate when invited. Maybe your organization was the only one to participate the first year, but set an EXAMPLE to all of those other organizations that didn't that you are not about to let your greek organizations be segregated. Show them that you are ALL GREEK TOGETHER. Sometimes you just have to be the trendsetter and others will follow. Nothing will be done about segregation until someone takes the first step.
