All Greek orgs have a purpose/mission statement (including your own). But, I don't know of any MCGLOs whose sole purpose is multiculturalism. Theta Nu Xi for example has five tenets: Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood, Leadership and Multiculturalism. Each of these tenets is vital to our identity as Theta Women. These tenets aren't just for show...we plan events around them and we expect to see them demonstrated by our aspirants. Our mission is:

To promote leadership, multiculturalism, and self-improvement through academic excellence, involvement in and service to the campus and community, as well as being living examples of sisterhood across different races, cultures, religions, backgrounds, and lifestyles.

We deeply value our bond of sisterhood. We enjoy socializing and networking within our own organization and across organizational boundaires.

I PERSONALLY don't get the point.

Exactly.

So, what is the purpose that your founders laid out for your organization? And, what benefit do you gain from membership? I could ask you the point of your organization. What are you rallying around? But, I know that, at the heart of the fraternity, there is a bond of brotherhood upon which the rest of your ideals hang. And, the same goes for all of us.
