There's one "Multicultural" Organization on campus. Gamma Phi Epsilon has their only chapter here, and they're the only USFC GLO to have a chapter house (Not anymore though, Beta Theta Pi owns they're house and they're going to recolonize in that house).
GPhiE actually is like 20 Mexicans and one black guy. So, to call it "multicultural" is kind of a joke.
Delta Sig at SDSU actually has more of a diverse chapter. There's several hispanics, a couple Asians (myself included), and several African Americans (one of them is from Compton and used to be a crip. Now he's 4.0 pre-med (I just think that's really cool)).
From my experience, every "multicultural" GLO is dominated by one race (Hispanic or Asian mostly), with a couple of other races.
My whole thing is that if a GLO wants to call themselves "multicultural", does that mean that IFC and Panhellenic are "white" GLOs? I would think that these "multicultural" GLOs have the same aims that we do on campus and in the community, so what sets them apart from a real GLO? If a Latino GLO works within their community, and an Asian GLO works within theirs, what community would these "multicultural" GLOs work in? One would think it be the same community as IFC and Panhellenic do.
