Theta Nu Xi is also currently tackling issues of gender identity and sexual orientation on a national level.

So there's no actual program that creates multiculturalism? That being said, it's very unlikely that even just the white Greeks would come together, so what makes you think that the WHOLE campus would come together? Wouldn't this be off better as just a regular RSO? The campus has tons of diversity initiatives.

The composition of membership at each chapter is often reflective of the areas in which the chapters operate. For instance, our Atlanta, GA chapters have a higher percentage of African and black women, whereas our southwestern chapters have a higher percentage of Latina women.

At what point does this become "multi-cultural"? Isn't it just like the other fraternities and sororities on campus that have alot of one race and perhaps a few of another? Historically black sororities allow hispanics in (I'm told at least, though I've never seen it)...would this not be the same thing?

We debate each other and occasionally it gets heated. Our conversations often sound a lot like what you hear in general society (particularly regarding race). Membership in Theta Nu Xi is difficult but rewarding.

Couldn't you do that in an RSO?

In all your defense, you haven't shown how it's "multicultural" other than it's based mostly on the color of the participants skin, which doesn't seem like a good way to define a sisterhood/brotherhood.
