This is an area of interest to me...
I am ethnic and suppose I choose to become a member of XXX org. because I really like the org. and what it stands for, service programs, etc. I have developed strong friendships and sisterhood within my chapter. There are no GLO's in my area that are geared toward my ethnicity, but the GLO I chose to join is a community service org. and does alot to better the community, so I relate really well to my sisters although most are of a different race. Well, down the road a GLO is formed of my ethnicity, let's say I am hispanic (hypothetical), and there are several issues facing hispanics that only hispanics can actively address (you feel what I'm saying?). If I were approached to join this org. because of what I could bring to the table and it didn't compromise my membership/loyalty to my current GLO I would feel it would be my responsibility to participate in supporting the org and bringing action to issues affecting my people, especially because that is what drew me to be in a GLO to begin with. I want to work towards betterment for all mankind, but you feel me when I say you have to be the one looking out to make things better for your people, no question. So what is your take on this spin of it? I know I would love to see my ethnic sisters form a strong sisterhood/org. such as the those of the NHPC because it would really make a difference in my community. That's just from my point of view. It's not a social thing but a responsibility to your people thing. What do you think?
