Black Greeks may have originated because blacks were not rushed by general fraternities and sororities, but they have successfully created their own organizations with their own unique culture, parallel to the "general interest" Greeks.
I think multi-cultural Greeks were founded, not because they were denied admission to the other groups, but because they wanted the same things the rest of us have and also to be around other minorities like themselves. In time they'll develop their own familiar profile and signatures.
One thing that would help the Multis is increasing their membership. Some of the chapters only have a few members. That doesn't attract attention or build prestige.

I think this is not only why blacks prefer BGLO but also an increasing number of whites. No matter what campus you go to the BGLO are the same: AKA, DST, ZPhiB, SGRho, APhiA, Ques, KaPsi, and Sigmas. So no matter where you are likely to find a brother or sister.
