But once you do join one of them, you have to understand that the programming etc WILL be geared towards that specific group and that exceptions don't really have to be made, because the members aren't swaying from the original purpose of their org.'s founding.
To Tom: I agree that if people aren't satisfied with what their campus offers, they should look into other things. I think it is the 'founderitis' movement that we were discussing though.

Agree with both parts. I would never join a Asian sorority and expect there to all of a sudden be a few programs geared towards African-Americans just because I'm around. If I joined an Asian sorority, it would be because I wanted to be involved in the Asian interest programming, not to get more African-American's involved in the organization.
And yes..there is a big rash of founderitis now a days. And it seems to be catching...
