To be fair, she only asked for a definition.

Well, she's looking for a definition with some indication that it's ok for her to join. I assume there's a chapter on her campus so she really didn't have to come here for a definition.

ETA: Internet search engines bring up an array of Latina-based organizations with a multicultural emphasis based on founding purpose and/or member demographics. Reading about the orgs explains what it all means.

I agree -- she should definitely be speaking to members of that organization. A lot of undergrads will twist the definition for rush, though (if she's interested in one of the organizations I'm thinking of).

When talking to a Latino/a: "Yes, we're one of the largest Latino organizations in the US!"

When talking to everyone else: "Yes, we're a large multicultural organization *cough*foundedbylatinos*cough*!"

Thus is the problem with looking for quick and easy answers when there's a lot of info to be gained from research. I hope she takes what she reads on GC and continues her research elsewhere.
