Read before you post.

LGLOs have very little to do with the actual customs and cultures of Latin countries and more with imitating the traditions and customs of NPHC organizations and Black culture in general. Often times their members don't even know Spanish. Someone coming from Latin America wouldn't understand it and would not feel comfortable in such an organization.

Because IFC fraternities are overflowing with Central/South American culture? We all know that the litmus test for respecting cultures is speaking the language. That's why all African-Americans speak African.

I am not trying to belittle the history of these organizations but let's be honest here.

Fail.

If latino fraternities were really all about their culture they would be sending their members to do service in less fortunate Latin countries, donating money to charitable Hispanic organizations, teaching English to inner-city Hispanic children, things of that nature. Not using their time to step and stroll in the student union.

Are you in an LGLO?

Oh, OK. Disregard my previous posts. This makes it OK. Also -- some of my best friends are black.
