It's understandable how it could be confusing.

I don't think so.... the members I know just consider it a multicultural sorority. Their national website doesn't say "minority multicultural" -- but maybe other sources say that because other sororities before MSU were founded to be non-sectarian and therefore happened to be multicultural.

Although, I've never heard of MSU being for only "minority" women, I think what PJ is refering to is:

Here's a link as well from the Siksika Chapter - the second chapter founded:

By the way, I wasn't suggesting that MSU limits itself to a minority membership. I was talking about the org's history and why they might be confused as a Latina sorority.

Hey all - I just heard that Sigma Lambda Gamma has joined the NMGC. Can anyone confirm?

I haven't heard. I'm sure it will be on their website soon if it's true.

Certainly. I really am interested in the development of the NMGC even if it seems like I'm down on the council sometimes. I expect much from it.

I am not too surprised if SLG joined the NMGC, alot of Latino orgs have confused me going back and forth from calling themselves a Latino org to a Multicultural org, while we do have a very diverse membership, we need to let folks know the difference between make up and orientation.

This thread was definitely good reading. I was not even aware of this "trend". I can't understand why an organization would change their focus. It doesn't seem right. Plus, it's confusing.

At the very least, members of the same organization should know whether they are in a Latino or multicultural organization.

It's news to me. Imma have to wait to see if/when they are added to the NMGC list of member organizations.
