You're absolutely right. What I've been seeing is that, in general, the national HQ/website still defines the orgs in terms of their founding. So, a Latina sorority is still a Latina sorority even if they add "with multicultural membership." But, like knight_shadow said, the local chapters go wild, even trying to compete with historically-multicultural sororities to determine who is the "most" multicultural. It's pathetic. If they were secure with their organizational history and were devoted to their missions/purposes, it wouldn't have to be like that.
