That is what has happened to the NPHC and NIC/IFC/NPC. Clearly today none of these orgs consist on a single race / ethnicity of membership as they did at their founding and much of their early history.

I'm not sure which phrase would be more accurate, because I don't know what they mean to the different organizations at this point, and some of these groups have eliminated their use of "Latina/o" entirely.

I always wondered how the alumni felt about changes like that.

I know, right? I wonder what the founders think, too.

I'm reminded of this quote by audaz49:

The future of Sigma Lambda Gamma is in the hands of every woman who becomes a member, and I most definately cannot speak for all or even most of them. I can speak for me, and I can honestly say that whether SLG becomes Multicultural or stays Latina, I will always uphold the principles and motto of my beloved sisterhood.
