My sister actually asked me that question in an email (b/c she was trying to get a response for you), and this is what I told her:
"Well - I think the main benefits are just getting to "network" w/other multicultural greeks. Through this org, we can support each other and the "cause" of multicultural sororities and fraternities. We can organize events together, and help each other recruit new members. We can share ideas and provide support to each other. It's tough to be an organization "out there" on your own, and the NMGC will provide an important source of support and strength for all of us.
So far, we haven't done too many activities just b/c the council is just getting up and running. However, we are hoping to do some community service and social events together. We are also hoping to get "local" NMGC chapters set up at various universities to provide support for the multicultural greeks at the universities."
I think that the NMGC really has a lot of potential to become an important group for multicultural greeks, but also to become an important organization in our community and in our country. There aren't a lot of multicultural national organizations in the US, so I think that just the fact that such an org would exist would make an important statement to people.
