Eirene_DGP what is your national HQ homepage so that I can research this some more.

well as a member of a MCorg, there is a differance between religion related organizations compared to a social and service organization. In general there are tons of "Christian Oriented Sororities and Fraternities" and really other religious based organizations. A Multicultural organization is also different from those organizations that are more cultural based, like you can check out some of the Latin Based orgs or latinogreeks.com or there are other cultural based sororities as in Asian, Latino and many others. The religious organizations are based on one religion and mainly focus on that belief. As for more specific cultural organizations, they focus on that particular heritage or culture(not generalizing, but just basically stating the concept) Multicultural, is a variety of not one heritage but many. A Gathering of Men or Females of different decents.
I too read the article in related to the situation of UA, now we all know not every greek life scenario is the same at every campus. We all might like to think everything is peaches and creams when we know it.s not. So sadly enough some of these situations still happen. So if they feel as though, that a more diverse group is needed or more cultural relations is needed to reach out to every student and not just a few so be it. As long as they hold true to their beliefs and why they choose the MC road to begin with then it's all good.
I hope that makes sense and clears up some things.
