Then I guess that means that every org is multicultural, since we all (NIC/NPC/NPHC/NALFO/NMGC) have a diverse range of members.

I bet that no one is willing to answer the question, but why would an org want to "turn their back" on their history and basis of founding just to recruit members? I wouldn't want to sacrifice my orgs ideals and unique culture just for numbers. I would want folks to want to be a member of my org because of what we are and what we do, not because they think we are something else...

Agreed x10!

One of the reasons I am so proud to be a member of my sorority is that we have always made it VERY clear that we are a LATINA sorority. Non-Latinas are welcome to pursue membership, but must uphold our mission and purpose.


Mission

Our mission is to promote and foster Latina leaders through educational and professional development, relationship building, and community involvement. Our intent is to provide our members to exposure to resources for continued growth.

Purpose

The purpose of Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc. shall be to open the doors of opportunity to the Latinas of our community. Our primary focus is academic excellence and meeting the needs of Latina women in higher education. Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc. also promotes the advancement of Latinas through various campus activities and community services, and provides an environment for personal growth within the unit of Sisterhood. Lambda Theta Nu Sorority, Inc.'s priorities, however, will be placed upon academic excellence and community service.

Wonderful!!

Hold on to that mission and purpose. Don't let anyone or anything water it down in the name of integration.
