This is my experience too- my family is Jamaican, and growing up my Puerto Rican friends were like my play cousins- they were like my family in spanish, lol. especially because a lot of them were black too, I grew up feeling like hispanic and black folks were kin in some way.
Slight hijack- I had a number of friends in college who were very impressive members of Lambda Upsilon Lambda. Nothing but love for your caballeros.

I don't know what to say about Asian students, most I know join Mainstream orgs, we do have ONE Asian Interest Org on campus, and many Asian freshmen automatically look at that org than other minority GLO's. Again alot has to do with pre-collegiate interaction.
