Isn't that a bit more multi-cultural than some girl from El Salvador who has a long line of Native-Latin American roots?
It depends on the organization. There's no way members of Theta Nu Xi know how other GLOs select members. But, to answer your question with respect to Theta Nu Xi, yes. If five "white girls" have demonstrated their commitment to our mission and tenets and are well-qualified, there's no reason they shouldn't be extended membership.

You're still focusing on membership composition rather than on the mission of the organization. We are seeking women who will uphold our mission and tenets. Ethnic background only becomes important once a woman joins the Sorority, because, at that point, she is in joining a larger conversation and her background will determine her opinions. EW, you do realize I'm white don't you?
