Re: Multicultural Fraternities

Well, maybe I am out of touch here, but aren't most Fraternities and Sororities these days multicultural already?

Up here in Canada all of the Fraternities and Sororities I have interacted with have members from many different cultures, religions, etc.
Most Fraternities up here are affiliated with U.S. Nationals like DEKE, PIKE, FIJI etc., and I have yet to see a chapter which restricts membership to one racial/cultural group only.

I do notice that there are some culturally specific Fraternities in the States though: Such as African American, Latino, Native American etc.,

Please pardon my apparent ignorance, but maybe this is mainly an American process - this specialized, or perhaps multiculturally specialized practice?

I wrote the definition of a "multicultural sorority/fraternity" in another thread and I think it works for this one too, so here it goes....

Well it sounds like you have a diverse chapter, not necessarily a multicultural fraternity. A multicultural fraternity/sorority usually has programming and member education centered around cultural and ethnic awareness.
I hope that explained it a little better for you.
