As for the differing community service goals, well I can't fault you on that. That's your focus vs. our focus. But I was really referring more to the socialization aspects- line jackets, parkas, STROLLING, stepping, having calls, etc. I saw them do all that stuff just like BGLO's.

If the other girl didn't respond to that, I would have never known that multicultural orgs do anything other than what is described above. On my campus, they try so hard to find out what you will be doing next so that they can copy it. The look of BGLO's without the goals and the restrictions. Why did I go into one of their offices and they had ivy leaves hanging on their pink bulletin board?!?!?! The Horror! I had a friend interested in joining a multicultural sorority on my campus. I challenged her to do research on all of the organizations before you make your final decision. After she realized that she would be doing nothing but running around campus with 3 letters on her chest that would mean nothing after she graduated, she changed her mind. Granted, things may very well change for what this organization means to society at a later time, but as of yet that is unknown. My friends biggest worry was that that name would go no where and it would all be a waste of her time. She would have a few "sisters" from campus who hang out with local frat guys, and have wet T-shirt contests but then what? I wish the organization luck with years to come beacue they are a cool bunch of girls, until then...
