What would be important enough to change something that your Founding Mothers put in place. What was the reason your Founding Mothers created a Latina sorority, and what was the reason they placed "Latina" within the name of the organization?

These are rhetorical questions that I don't expect you to answer here, but questions that should be asked when considering such a drastic change.

It isn't because we are focused solely on latin programming, over half of my sisters in my chapter speak a language other than spanish or english, and we have put on programming that isn't catered just towards latinas. ah well, I can only hope as the younger generation are more educated about minority greeks that they'll take the time to learn more about them...
You're confusing me here because you assign LTA as an LGLO and a minority GLO within the same paragraph. And in another thread you "informed" me that LTA isn't exclusive to Latinas. So what is it, is LTA an LGLO, is it a minority GLO (I'm working on the definition of Minority GLO that I'm familiar with, and that is one that caters to or is mainly encompassed of minority people), is it open to and geared toward all women?
