Why do multicultural GLOs/organizations exist?

After reading all the discussion, I think a few of us here understand what others are trying to say and a few seem to not.

When I said that it bothered me to see a few LGLOs make a switch on who they were marketing to, I was trying to get across that a few orgs I know HAVE kept with the values/reason/principles/creed, etc that their founders started with and have just accepted non-Hispanics into their sisterhood/brotherhood because that non-Hispanic saw something in the LGLO that was a fit for them. THis iis one of the main reaons someone who join a MCGLO.

However, there are also those GLO that have tried to test the MC waters because they've seen the success that MCGLO have been having (ex. having Hispanic membership along with other ethnic groups). These are the groups that bother me.

I agree with LatinaAlumna, it looks like disorder in an org. when one members says the org is this and another member is saying the org. is that. I've witnessed this myself with an org that many I know consider HLGLO.....both members at the same time said (in an open forum) "We are a Latina/MC org"

This is like a few members of the same org going around saying they belong to an "Honor Society" and the others saying they belong to a "Social" org. The org could be both, but marketing should be unified.

I didn't mean to get people heated, but when you hear older members of orgs I'm giving examples of say that they aren't pleased with the new route their orgs are going, I only think its fair to bring all sides of the issue out.
