Ok!!! I'll clarify a little more. By the way, thank you to everyone who posted!

Honest-to-goodness multiculturalism includes Latina based sororities because within the Latin community is a wealth of cultures and subcultures. It would be irresponsible of me to lump all Latin/Latina, Asian or African-based sororities into a mold that we've developed in this country.

HOWEVER, for this research, I'm looking for any sorority whose thrusts or identity is multicultural. My immediate project also calls for the following designations among sororities who consider themselves multicultural:

Multicultural means that the ancestry of the majority of members is not restricted to one continent’s set of cultures and sub-cultures

Diverse means that the ancestry of the majority of members is any set of cultures and sub-cultures from one continent

Let me repeat that these designations are for the purpose of my current project and are in no way indicative of the identities of any organization of which I am not a member (since I wouldn't know ANYWAY if I'm not a member!!)

Therefore, an organization like Malika Kambe Umfazi would be considered multicultural by my definition, but this organization does not specifically promote multiculturalism.
