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.
