"Multicultural" Lingo Mix Up?

hello all!

I have found it odd that throughout many campuses, the Greek Life department has decided to dub all cultural organizations as 'Multicultural Orgs', it later hit on my campus as well. I find it rather...confusing as do many regular folks, especially when we have an event like Meet the Greeeks.

The lingo has gone on to have Latino and Asian orgs (more latino than Asians) to say that they are the largest multicultural orgs on campus...while they may mean well, what does this mean to ACTUAL multicultural orgs who may want to get on campus?

I think alot of Mainstream orgs think that because many Latin and even Asian orgs have a multicultural membership that they are actually multicultural, i thought the same of this particular Latina org. What do you all think? Should people stop using "Multicultural" to describe Cultural Orgs (think in regards to PR as many Ethnic orgs are selling this way).
