I feel I've been out of the loop for so long...too long without my GC..
Well, after reading all the previous emails, I feel I can only give my 2 cents on why I started a chapter of a MCGLO
On my campus there were only 3 different type of sorority's (HW, HB and HL). I looked into each but felt that there had to be more than just this...why did I have to "pick" which single def. I wanted to join?
When Zeta Sigma Chi crossed my path, I knew it was what I needed. I wanted to share my culture (at the same time learn more about it...no one is the guru on being Mexican, French and Greek) and learn about others. I was in college to further my education and I didn't feel it only needed to be about what the University had to teach, but others around me....going out in the workforce wasn't going to be cookie cutter style, so why should my Sorority?
I'm proud of anyone who joins any org. and helps it reach a new level. I felt I could reach a new level with a MCGLO, plus since it was the first on the campus, I was opening the door for others to see what I saw.

Many years later, I see so many orgs that are HLGLO change form being all about the Hispanic movement and change over to promoting themselves as MCGLO, when in fact they are just (in my opinion) "mulit-Hispanic". I think this goes against what their founders sought after so long ago. I truly feel that they should stay true to what they were founded on.
