Knowing Casanova personally, I know he doesn't mean "multicultural" as in embracing the tenets of "multiculturalism" as so-called Multicultural GLOs do.
I think he means that we shouldn't be afraid to market ourselves as an organization that happens to be multicultural/diverse in its membership.
After glancing at the website, he's right...I didn't see any representations of our mostly black or Asian chapters.
To answer Quala's question....we can take a different approach to marketing ourselves. Different as in BETTER, lol. We don't have the benefit of letting rushees come to us -- we have to go out and find them.
For example....say your chapter is 99 percent white and you really WANT to see your chapter more accurately reflect the campus population. Half of the diversity battle is solved if your chapter is already diverse. But when it's not, your higher levels of resources need to BE the change that you want to see.
That said, the national website should be a wee bit more diverse in what it shows.
