I'm reviving this thread!

Many people have mentioned about multicultural representation through a Latino org; I go to a predominantly white institution, the Latino population is about 10% with FAR FEWER being Latino males, while our numbers may be small, I know it is nothing compared to schools like Indiana University, Purdue, and the Ivy League Schools (where we have chapters), being that in schools like these the Latino male population is very low (along with the Black male population), do you think people'll take a fraternity (or sorority) seriously if ALL the members of the chapter were White? Or would it be viewed as a mainstream org practicing a philanthropy a Pan Americanism (as an old mainstream fraternity did back in the 1920's and 30's), hopefully this is making sense to all of you, I've just bumped into plenty of folks who go to PWI's with LGLO's on campus and the majority of their members are not Latino, rather African American or white...i guess they [the GDI's] felt they wouldn't be able to understand the culture if they're not fully in it (not going to comment on that right now).
