Do the LGLOs in your area/region get "bashed" by other Latinas/os? Do people write articles in campus newspapers that are full of inaccuracies about Latina/o greeks? Do they call you "sellouts"? Do Latina/o student organizations with a "political twist" tell you to leave their events if you are wearing your letters, or tell you that they don't need "your kind" to volunteer for service projects? Do you get flack from Chicano/Latino professors or administrators?
This happens to LGLO members pretty frequently in California, albeit more on some campuses than others! Just when it seems to get better, someone always stirs up trouble again. I've always wondered if these things occur in other parts of the US, especially the east coast.

Last year an article was written in our Latino newspaper about our Latino/a based fraternities and sororities (we have 5 on campus) and it compared them to gangs....
The woman who wrote it later became a member of one of the groups...go figure.
