Just curious why do you say you are definitely not the type to join a multicultural sorority? There are two types of multicultural sorororitites those like mine where it means we try never to be dominated by one particular race ( www.lambbdaphixiunr.com and there are other groups that use the term multicultural or may be on the multicultural greek council but they are latina or asian based etc. All of these organizations are fantastic and have something great to offer. If all else fails, bring your own sorority to campus!

She shouldn't have to defend why she doesn't want to be in a multicultural sorority. It's comparing apples to oranges on pretty much every campus. Although many campuses have "multicultural" Panhellenic Associations in the sense that they are racially diverse, the Multicultural Sorority experience is a different one. No one asks White members of NPC groups why they didn't join multicultural sororities.

Agreed.

Just to point out that tanzera brought it up because the OP said she wasn't the type to join a multi-cultural group. I know the OP didn't mean anything bad about this statement...what is good for her is her own business...her statement could be construed the wrong way. I think tanzera was just questioning what the OP meant. That being said, I do agree that a woman's decision to join an NPC, NPHC or multi-cultural group is her decision no matter what racial group she falls into.

I doubt you offended her, but it looks like she felt the need to clarify what you might think a multi-cultural sorority is. Unfortunately, sometimes people read what you write completely differently than how you meant it. It's happened to me so many times. No matter what, don't let anyone taking offense on this board stop you from posting your story. We really enjoy them! Also, you may get some valuable advice along the way!

I agree as well. Different groups of organizations offer different things. If you're looking for a "Panhellenic experience" you're not going to pursue another type of sorority, regardless of your ethnicity.

Cuts are simply a part of recruitment. Rarely do girls get a FULL schedule of invites for every single round. Most girls get cut by at least one sorority at some point.
As far as not receiving a bid at all, it does happen. If you maximize your options and keep your mind open, it's usually less likely to happen.
Also, relax and don't forget to enjoy college, whether you end up joining a sorority or not.
