AGAIN, this has been discussed ad nauseum here.

Okay, not multicultural by design. But de facto multicultural. And what is being discussed here are the implications inherent in the way MCGLOs present themselves.
The same members who will whine and moan about their GLO not being respected will not extend the courtesy to others. Maybe they just don't give a damn how they are perceived - that's certainly the vibe I'm picking up - but I'm tired of being dismissed with "go educate yourself" when the question is not one of education.

No such thing. Diverse, yes. Multicultural, no.

You have entitlement issues.

I would respectfully disagree. And I wonder if any of the MCGLOs celebrate my Celtic/Norwegian heritage. (rhetorical question)
You have entitlement issues.

Thank you, Dr. Senusret. Gee, you're right. I'm so ashamed of my entitlement issues - thinking all groups should be entitled to respect. It is so wrong of me to think that it might be possible for a MCGLO to market themselves sucessfully without insulting other greeks on their campus. Yes, I was wrong to think that all GLOs should both expect and extend respect to one another. Silly me - I have learned a valuable lesson, and a great deal about the truth of MCGLOs.

I'm not a Doctor, but I'm glad I could be of some assistance.... no reason to be so hard on yourself, though.
