Now, don't take this the wrong way, but your comments really are indicative of a person who is not yet in a sorority (LGLO, MCGLO, or otherwise). If you were already a member, I seriously doubt you would be making some of the assertions that you are, and you wouldn't be making some of the assumptions that you are (i.e. that only the sororities who market to a broad range of ethnicities are successful - and to you, successful apparently = many chapters, but hey, everyone is entitled to her opinion!).
What you need to understand (if you are in fact invited to pursue membership in an organization) is that everyone does things differently and each organization is obviously "right" for someone. You also need to understand that if you are invited to pursue membership in an LGLO, you are going to have to serve the community for which you seem to have some disdain for (again, just going off of your own previous comments in this thread). Being in an LGLO is not about partying, strolling, and wearing letters. It is about hard work and being the best person you can be. If you are only in it to have fun, you are going to have a long road ahead. You have indicated which organization you intend to pursue (which was a mistake, in my opinion, because the sisters read these boards). I am very familiar with that organization, and they work REALLY, REALLY hard, all across the country. I hope for your sake and theirs that you are ready for what is to come should they decide to accept you.
As far as comparing my comment about the sadness in members of the same org. not knowing what to call themselves: to compare it to hazing or drinking in letters is irrelevant here. The topic is MCGLOs, not hazing or drinking. I have no idea why you would even bring those things up in the conversation.
My only advice is to do some more research, calm down, and remember that the sisters of the organization that you want to join are likely reading what you write. Good luck!
