I think this goes against what their founders sought after so long ago. I truly feel that they should stay true to what they were founded on.

I agree and I'm afraid it's this same mentality that causes non-MCGLO Greeks to sometimes become angry when an MCGLO joins their campuses. They feel that because MCGLOs promote multiculturalism, they are - in effect - saying that the
rest of the Greeks are
not multicultural or do not promote diversity.
As I've said, this is not the case. I truly believe that organizations need to remain tied to their founders' visions. If you are a HLGLO, HBGLO, HWGLO, HAGLO - etc. - be proud of your beginnings and realize that as you move forward, the face of your organization can change, but your purpose musn't.
Honestly, in my OPINION (please do not flame me!) the organizations that have stayed most on track, in this regard, are the HBGLOs, though I know there have been some minor issues when it comes to initiating non-AFAM aspirants. But, these are generally on an individual basis and are certainly not based in any national position on the issue.
