Several of the orgs I've come in contact with have HQs that embrace multiculturalism, but their membership tends to take it too far (ie. saying things like "We are the largest multicultural GLO," etc).

You're absolutely right. What I've been seeing is that, in general, the national HQ/website still defines the orgs in terms of their founding. So, a Latina sorority is still a Latina sorority even if they add "with multicultural membership." But, like knight_shadow said, the local chapters go wild, even trying to compete with historically-multicultural sororities to determine who is the "most" multicultural. It's pathetic. If they were secure with their organizational history and were devoted to their missions/purposes, it wouldn't have to be like that.

you "accidentally advertise more to Latinas than others", WTH is that. I think I would have fallen off my chair if I heard that. A college education isn't what it used to be I guess (for some?).

I guess Im a little late to the party as well, but I can this is eerily like a conversation that I had with my sisters not too long ago. The debate of being a Latina sorority in an every changing "multi-cultural" Greek community. But being the only sorority of our kind, I dont feel as if we should stake this claim of multi-culturalism or "Latina based" multi-culturalism. We are who we are as an organization, and "advertising" as a Latina sorority, at least to me, hasnt adversely affected our recruitment. I think that we have MORE respect that we have remained true to the culture on which we were founded, especially in an area like Southwest Missouri.
