But, what else are you going to do? Are those SEC NPC chapters going to literally spend time conducting community service activities in the AA community?

Yes, I know of some that literally do, though I think these volunteer opportunities are undertaken on the basis of need (requests from local agencies/programs for volunteers), not race.

A predominately white college sorority would be an appropriate and/or effective group to "attack" issues in the AA communities?

IMO, this seems cliche'. I think it is misguided to assume that all girls of non-white ethnicities constantly want this to be pointed out by their GLO --actually, in fact, it seems a little "counter-color blindness."
Perhaps they just want to live their lives without their race being pointed out as their basis of identity -- like Carnation's children.
I would be interested in a list of things to do and say about diversity in SEC GLOs that are
not considered "cliché."
