Until the history and mission of your org changes not to mention the SELF prescribed title of being a latina sorority then Lta is a latina org.

Take head of what I said earlier about looking beyond your chapter and your region when seeking to define a trend. And do note that when I mean something as an exclusive I will say ONLY.

Good Day

I crossed in a different region I am currently active in, and have met with many sisters across the nation. yes, I am non latina, but that does not mean I don't understand that LTA is a latin organization, nor do I ever want Latin to be dropped from our name. I already said I have no qualms about that why are you trying to use it as an argument? I just said that what you specifically wrote came across as rather limiting to me, and I wanted to clarify that we do a lot of things geared towards the universal woman, not just the latin community.

No what You did was called me ignorant and rolled your eyes at me and thought I wasn't going to call you out on it and respond intelligently to your point. I guess you assumed I was just pulling my info out of thin air.

i only said you were ignorant to SOME of the facts, NOT ALL (I said you were half correct, did I not?). why are you are picking and choosing and taking out of context what I wrote?

I bolded the things in your statements that I had a problem with, said you were half correct, and tried to show why.

I'm responding from my phone right now when I get home andx in front of the computer I will properly respond.

you know, i do apologize with what I said, and using , I guess I was frustrated by the fact that there are a lot of people out there that only perceive my org as promoting and helping the latin community, when you look on every level, national, regional, and chapter-wise, we are doing a lot of things that are promoting more than just the latin community, but also trying to promote and and help the plight of all women worldwide. My chapter's philanthropy is Equality, which works through Equality Now!, an agency for women and children who obviously are not given some of the most basic human rights. If you go to our national website, and look under philantrophic service regionally, you can see each chapter has a different, but often related to women and children, philanthropy, and only a few chapter focuses specifically on the latino community.

Looking back, I do feel that I am being picky about your wording, but I really don't want there to be a continued misconception that all LTAs do relate to and service the latino community, but that it includes other things.

If you haven't already done so, you may want to go back through and read this thread from the beginning. You've come in the midst of a conversation that's been going on for some time and the issues you bring up have been discussed at length.

Check out what's been said already so you can understand where folks are coming from.

there are 500 posts, so i was only reading a couple of pages at the beginning, and then went to the end. i guess i should read the middle. if I misquoted someone, then I am sorry, but all I was trying to do was to correct someone for claiming that my org was servicing the latin community without a word otherwise in that one post I read. I do apologize for the way I said it, because there are definitely better ways to say it, but this is my org, and i love it, and don't want to see those statements put out there that may make people, especially non-greeks, continue to perceive us in a certain way.
