Those of non-Latino descent feel like the fraternity should reflect this multiculturalism, and abandon the predominant focus on the Latino culture. Then there could be others who want to continue following the traditions and rituals that their fraternity was founded upon (such as line names in Spanish, events catered towards the Hispanic community, etc). They feel that the original vision their founders had has completely changed from what they originally intended.
What then?
p.s. I'm not bashing one side or the other, I just think it's a realistic situation that could cause problems in the future.

I think this way: certain rituals/traditions such as the line names in spanish shouldn't be changed. But PROGRAMMING, I feel that is a different issue. I believe that programming is a function of the chapter, thus based entirely on what the chapter is or composed of. It is a fine line, but I think as long as we stay true to our purpose, which I believe is creating quality men who live by the principles we teach, I don't think it is going to be a real issuse for the founders.
