I read some people say that some sororities that claim to be multicultural aren't really multicultural. What is that based on? Is it the membership or the programming? It wouldn't be fair for us to judge their sorority based on the pictures they post. Couldn't a sorority that is a majority one race but they do multicultural programming be a "real" multicultural sorority?
I really think that a lot of people have founderitis. I personally would give much more respect to someone who founded a chapter of an established sorority than someone who founded their own sorority. I REFUSE to believe that someone couldn't find what they were looking for out of ALL of those sororities. To me it just makes them look too lazy to research what is already out there and putting the time and work into expanding another sorority. It's kind of self-serving...

I think with the multicultural vs. not issue...well it's confusing for everyone involved. You have some organizations that are multicultural in membership and programming. Those are the ones generally considered multicultural by their members and by the general population. The confusion is an organization who is geared towards a particular culture and their history is towards that culture, then how can they claim multicultural, especially since nobody was claiming multicultural until the recent growth and popularity of true multicultural organizations.
I agree with the founderitis issue. There are sooooo many organizations and I can't imagine that there isn't an organization already in existance for them. I agree with the self-serving issue...I think people just want to pick their own colors and be called founders.
