what does being able to speak the native tounge have to do with be a socially conscious asian woman? i bet half of those kids can't even speak the language. people join these organizations to promote the particular culture. i know asian girls in white sororities who are part of the filipino group, the asian assoc. ect. you don't have to have asian friends to understand what it's like to be asian in america...and you don't have to join an asian sorority to have sense of self. but you should have an idea of what your culture is, and where you came from. if you don't know your roots, then i'm sorry for you.
