Some of the clothing on that site is really horrible. People aren't actually buying that sh*t, are they?

Coming back to the main topic in the thread, which orgs in NALFO have officially changed focus? For what I could see in their national websites, the usual suspects still call themselves Latino-based, and the ones that don't, still don't come out and explicitly call themselves Multicultural.

Out of NALFO, looking at the past as I understand it, Gamma Eta Sorority (member of NMGC), Chi Sigma Upsilon Sorority (Former member of NMGC), Tau Phi Sigma Fraternity (since recently member of NIC), and Delta Delta Coed Fraternity were Latino founded, but moved officially to multicultural, some not even mentioning the change in their own histories.

Also, even though they are Multicultural orgs today, AFA labels Delta Psi Alpha Coed, Delta Phi Omega Coed, Xi Psi Omega Coed and Tau Theta Pi Sorority as Latino. Is AFA mistaking or did these orgs also changed focus?

Here is the link:

Just curious and wanting to know more and, if necessary, correct myself. No disrespect intended to any of the mentioned organizations.

Who are the usual suspects?

I'm thinking he's referring to SLB/SLG, ODP/KDX, etc

Only one (as you know) is NALFO. So I thought there were others he was talking about.

You are right Monarca, out of the ones mentioned by K_S, only KDX is still a NALFO member. I had heard that another usual suspect which is out of NALFO was NAK.

The reason of my asking is for real curiosity. Although Greek since 97, I am a 2001 alumnus, so I am crude on most NALFO orgs, since SLB joined much later and didn't get to meet any on campus (besides OeDPh, KDCh, LThPh and LThA). Now, visiting their webpages, this is what I have found out about NALFO orgs.

Sororities
-The webpage for KDCh uses both Latina based and Latina founded in the "About" section.
-The webpage for GAOe say they are "Latina-founded, multicultural organization"
-About OePhB, they say they are "Latina-oriented, not Latina-based," whatever that means.
-The rest are clearly LGLO's.

As for the fraternities,
-I've heard that some chapters of LSU also throw out the diverse card, although the website clearly indicates LGLO.
-The rest are clearly LGLO's.

I was wonder about the orgs that LatinaAlumna had in mind when she open this thread.

Edited as adviced.

btw, Chi Sigma Upsilon Sorority is and has long been defunct. I don't think they ever madeit out of the 90's.

Thanks. I didn't know. They have a website up, but I did not dig deep enough on it. Now that I went back, they had events till 2004. Sorry.

I think it's their prerogative to not mention it in their public histories if it's no longer who they are.
