Observations:
SLB seems more similar to an NIC fraternity than an NPHC fraternity based on Little Dragon's post.
I think the majority of the NALFO groups seem to be recognizing the lack of preparation which many minorities suffer from due to crumbling urban school systems in communities where Latinos may be the majority and institutional racism in school systems where Latinos may be the minority.
If SLB doesn't see things that way -- or address them differently -- then that's fine for SLB of course. But I really wish they had conceded that point to NALFO.
ETA: This is moreso in response to point #1 -- I don't think the comparison to NIC orgs is a reasonable one because white people don't (on the whole) have the same retention issues in higher education.
