The reason I started this thread was to find out more about other multicultural sororities.
I'm doing some heavy research to discover the history and determine the future of MCGLOs (sororities specifically).
Looking at the history of Greek Life in general, organizations come and go and there is always another organization in the wings trying to make a name for itself. As we all know, it's not an easy thing, so when an organization folds, we should all be sympathetic because we know our org could suffer.
I think one of the most serious problems with a lot of MCGLOs is a tremendous lack of organization. Unfortunately, founders are often leading with their hearts and not fully considering the outcomes. Though I am biased, I will say that Theta Nu Xi is a highly professional and organized being. I have a great deal of business experience from a lifetime of working with my father who was involved with a number of start-ups and recoveries.
In my own past, I had the experience of considering another organization, getting involved with that organization and finding to many inaccuracies and inadequacies. So, for my own sake, I left the organization. It, too, was a multicultural sorority (no I wasn't initiated!)
I take no offense at the comments you all have provided because I agree with you. No sense in crying over the truth! I believe mergers are in the future of many MCGLOs. Merging is the ultimate compromise keeping both organizations healthy with a few little tweaks here and there.
While I'm not at liberty to discuss Sorority business publicly, I can say that Theta Nu Xi has a number of proposals in the works (with regard to many issues) that will serve to strengthen our Sisterhood and the overall Theta Nu Xi corporation.
I did want to mention that posters in this thread have mentioned the large number of MCGLOs. Have you all taken notice of the growing numbers of Latino/a and Asian GLOs? We all have our opinions of which orgs are at the forefront, don't we? There are many flourishing, many struggling and some dissolving. Such is the case for all GLOs though.
ETA: Organizations have to stand on their own legs and be tested. Only then will be see who will come out on top.
