OK, I'm trying to be as sensitive as I can, since it's kind of a delicate issue. Some girls arrive on campus knowing they want to be Greek, but aren't sure which kind of GLO to join. If NPCs are the only ones on campus, then of course, they'll join NPC, but would opt for an Asian/Latin/NPHC/Multicultural GLO if it is available to them. Most people who join these GLOs (with the possible exception of a multicultural GLO) are members of minority ethnic groups. That's why diversity might be taken away from NPCs.
I disagree Taualumna, I think the young folks can discern for themselves what they feel which organization best fits them. And not all of them are so blind that they think they do not have any choices... I didn't see a lack of choice being a problem with Canadians when I was up their this weekend... I saw plenty of opportunities available to triumph. Eventually, that will get filtered thru the universities and colleges.

As far as an "umbrella goes": I think it will be more of a "Olympic Rings" look in the end with each "color of the ring" interacting with another. Those who stay on the outter fringes of their ring color will deal with their own ethnic group's issues; whereas those who choose to interact and be in an totally different ring can. And I think folks will choose multiple rings--to be Lord of the Rings--so to speak...

I think those folks who choose organizations outside of their own ethnic group get labeled as "sellouts" by the immature children on this board. These brats fail to understand that it is more about what works best for these folks made a decisive choice about their organization, anytime.

As a side note: I think AGLO's will begin to define themselves the longer time their ethnic group lives in the United States. It just works that way out here. It happend to mostly all immigrant groups, forced or unforced. And it will be the same for the various Asian populations with the more globalization and interaction all of us inhabitants have on Earth...

That's just my opinion.
