Couldn't a sorority that is a majority one race but they do multicultural programming be a "real" multicultural sorority?

Girl - this is the problem we've been hashing it out over. If your membership and programming is geared toward one culture, but in name you are multicultural, how does that make any sense? It's like me looking like a woman and sounding like a woman but telling everyone to call me Mr. preciousjeni. It confuses potential members (not to mention all the other Greeks out there who are trying to understand the multicultural phenomenon.)

I really think that a lot of people have founderitis. I personally would give much more respect to someone who founded a chapter of an established sorority than someone who founded their own sorority. I REFUSE to believe that someone couldn't find what they were looking for out of ALL of those sororities. To me it just makes them look too lazy to research what is already out there and putting the time and work into expanding another sorority. It's kind of self-serving...

I agree with the "too lazy" sentiment. When people have come onto GC talking about founding a multicultural sorority, I often PM them to offer them links to some of the larger MC orgs - to help them along the way. Without fail, they are
totally surprised at the selection.
By the way y'all - that list I gave was JUST sororities! There are still fraternities out there!!
