If you go to http://photos.yahoo.com/jamesta5 ...you can see pics of the new sisters at Muhlenberg along with some of the sisters from the University of Pittsburgh and Duke that helped them become sisters.

I'm in the convention photos! How fun!

I love my Theta Nu!!!!




...and here I am, yet again, resurrecting a thread.

I am a little behind times....do these multi-cultural and ethnic
groups have houses or are they small enclaves of select groups
of people?

At San Diego State, the Cultural GLOs have really boomed. They have their own council, currently have 12-13 GLOs I believe. The largest Asian, Latino and multicultural frats normally have between 30-40 guys, but that could fluctuate. The sororities are smaller, mostly 15-30 at a time.

Nu Alpha Kappa (Latino frat) moved into our old house when we moved to the row, and the multicultural frat has a house in greek circle that was formerly occupied by Beta and Sigma Pi.

They say by 2010, all recognized GLOs at SDSU (IFC, Penhel and USFC) will have housing. Imagine 40 houses(?!?!?)

The greeks'll have a whole part of the campus completely to themselves. Well actually, looking at the map of chapter houses, it seems like they're definitely getting there.

back in the late 50s, I was on the road for TKE as a field rep.
I was proud of the fact that TKE could pledge anyone, not have
to ask their religion or look at their complexion.
Today we have groups all split apart, going every which way. If
we'd acted that way...at least in my time...we'd have been tossed
off campus, expelled for school, called prejudicial....
What in the hell did we accomplish, anyway?
The entire Greek movement has imploded, in a manner of speaking. Too bad. We just shot the eight ball in.

Erik, everyone just goes with the crowd they fit with. Despite all these cultural GLOs, IFC and Panhellenic are VERY integrated.

I just wanted to let you know I think you guys rock! I checked out your site and I ran into preciousjeni in the locals forum and now I'm working on some para. I'm impressed though, you girls give off an excellent vibe! VERY POSITIVE! Congrats!

[Erik P Conard]

thanks, Stan; you seem to have a pretty good handle on things.
Was not trying to stir up things, simply still do not understand
why IFC's are split, more differences now than 40 yrs ago. But,
the torch is passed...again, thanks, Stan

[DeltaSigStan]

I don't think you were trying to stir things up. I kind of agree that IFCs are a lot more split up than they used to be. I remember alumni before talking about how IFC would help each other with rush and other all greek activities. Now, EVERYTHING is survival of the fittest.

The underlying perception of the cultural GLOs is still all on who you talk to here, but I do have friends in those houses, and they're just a different type of greek, just like IFC greeks are not the same as NPHC greeks. I also believe we're a very different greek campus compared to more traditional greek life at other school. Perhaps you just haven't seen a campus like ours yet.

Whatever though...we're all Greek, and elitism rules!

Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. is an amazing sorority. They stand for multiculturalism and that is something very unique. They embrace all cultures. If you are thinking of a sorority, TNX is the best choice. You will never feel awkward around anyone because everyone is different. You will find new friends that become more than sisters--they become family. It will be hard because you must set aside differences, but ahhh I can't begin to tell you what an amazing prize and honor it is to be a part of something so special.

Are you a soror?

Your a very mean person! Responding to a SIX year old thread? I saw Stan's post and thought he had returned. ::Off to pout in the corner::

I think TNX is a great organization, but that last post was over the top

If you are thinking of a sorority, TNX is the best choice.

How can you say that TNX is the best choice for anyone thinking of joining a sorority? Not everyone has the same wants and desires in their search for a sorority, and ANY organization could not possibly be a great fit for all. Would you want your sorority to be a "one size fits all" and taking anyone and everyone regardless of their ideals and abilities?

You will never feel awkward around anyone because everyone is different.

How can you guarantee that someone would never feel awkward? Everyone feels awkward at time, even around their best friends in the world. And a lot of people would feel awkward with everyone being so different!

It will be hard because you must set aside differences

Doesn't that create awkwardness?



Everyone thinks their own group is the best, but you can't make these over the top promises like a super-duper TNX infomercial

I've always found the concept of "multicultural" organizations to be pretty insulting. The implication being that when you say you "respect all cultures" is that other organizations don't. That simply isn't true. It's an ignorant and offensive statement.

Honestly, I feel the same way. When I was in college, about a week after I got initated into ADPi, a "Latina" GLO on my campus was recruiting on the campus green by the Student Union. As I passed they tried giving me an info brochure and I politely declined and then the girl went on to say about how they are for Latinas and how they accept hispanic women and whatnot. I told them I had already joined a sorority and politely declined again and kept walking. (I was also wearing a letter shirt that day? So maybe they just didn't see I was already greek?)

My sorority accepted me just fine, but thanks for offering.
