Totally agree and of course, what I mentioned in the OP was just my impression based on my experiences at a small rural state school. I fully expect someone's experience at a larger, more diverse school to be totally different. I would like to learn a little more about the experiences of others and what factors PNMs might consider if having to choose between membership in the different councils.

And at other small nondiverse/homogenous schools.

I think it has a lot to do with how you were raised and the amount of cultural indoctrination you experienced.

My school has about 37,000 students and 50%+ are Hispanic. Thus, the Greek population reflects those numbers. Even at bigger like UF and FSU, "Whiter" schools, I would say the majority of hispanic Greeks join IFC and NPC groups.

I just never thought about joining a latin fraternity because it didn't appeal to me and I would never fit in as a brother of an LGLO.
