Researcher,

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and accept that you are relatively ignorant about Greek Life.

You may want to see the following thread to understand why true Latino/a-based organizations are not "leaning toward multiculturalism." They may be increasingly diverse in terms of their membership composition, but the same is true of ALL Greek organizations.

"Multicultural" Greek organizations are set apart by purpose and through programming. MCGLOs were founded on the concept of multiculturalism. A Greek organization cannot "become" multicultural. Latina sororities can be "Latina-based sorority with multicultural/diverse membership" but they cannot be inherently "multicultural." It is inappropriate and disrespectful when Latina sororities, and other Greek organizations, adopt the term "multicultural" to define themselves.

See the following thread for further information:
