At ASU this fall rush, I was helping out 'backstage' so to speak for my sorority. I mostly saw white girls rushing. Now my sisters can't control that, no house can.
Now, ASU has a strong network of MCGLO's. There are sororities and fraternities for Hispanics, African Americans, etc...
Just because we have those doesn't stop girls from rushing. My sorority at ASU would actually be considered quite diverse. You can't walk onto our campus and be 'oh that girls a so and so', like you can on some other campuses (and yes that statement is true).
I realize that SL 3 has stirred up feelings when it comes to race, but this subject is and will probably always be very touchy. I understand that the GLO is a MCGLO, but it doesn't mean this thread now has become about race.
Agree with me, disagree with me, just respect my opinion.

Hun I completely agree. Just because this is a MCGLO it doesn't mean that people have to make it about race. My main reason is that MCGLO's mostly don't make it about race. . .it's everyone else that does. All we try to do is understand, respect, and learn about each others culture. . .and if a problem does come up we talk about it. And I've talked about the same stuff that is brought up here with my sisters and I see where their frustration is. And they see where mine is. But there is no way either of us could completely understand.
I think the problem is that some people haven't seen how other people are just as frustrated as they are. . .and yes I mean someone outside of your race. I think when other people say that their sorority or fraternity isn't Multicultural they mean that. . .yeah some come from different backgrounds but the one fact remains that they are all grouped into the "white" category and in American "white" people are treated differently.
It's not about labeling if you think about it, it's about what you look like. For example, my grandmother passed for white decades ago, so she was lumped with the "white" people. It was solely based on her looks and not what she actually was. It all goes back to when all of these labels began. . .I don't think people cared where you came from but if you had certain features you were lumped with that certain group. And some people just let it go (like many light skinned African Americans did) because, let's face it people, anyone with "white" features are treated differently.
P.s.- Maybe someone will take this all too touchy subject to another post about it, because this is meant to be about SL3. . .Even though I really can't stand the show right now
