Diversity in the SEC

But, what else are you going to do? Are those SEC NPC chapters going to literally spend time conducting community service activities in the AA community?

Yes, I know of some that literally do, though I think these volunteer opportunities are undertaken on the basis of need (requests from local agencies/programs for volunteers), not race.

A predominately white college sorority would be an appropriate and/or effective group to "attack" issues in the AA communities?

IMO, this seems cliche'. I think it is misguided to assume that all girls of non-white ethnicities constantly want this to be pointed out by their GLO --actually, in fact, it seems a little "counter-color blindness."

Perhaps they just want to live their lives without their race being pointed out as their basis of identity -- like Carnation's children.

I would be interested in a list of things to do and say about diversity in SEC GLOs that are not considered "cliché."
