Your posts aren't "proving" what you think they are.

That national website quote is just acknowledging that "Latin" isn't a "race" but is rather a fusion of different cultures, nationalities, races, colors, creeds, and religions. Everyone should know this already.

It doesn't negate the Latin roots or that you all are a Latin Sorority. So I really don't get why you're all over this board trying to refute something that isn't really refutable.

And Latinos are not "taking over America." They are still a minority group both in size and influence because they aren't even close to the population and power of whites and have only surpassed blacks in population size over the past 2 or so years.

I would never ever want to negate the latin roots of my organization, so please do not think that because I am a non-latina, that I would want to do that.

that quote was also about "all women" so unless "all women" are latinas, then I don't see why I didn't prove my point.

yes, i know latinos are not taking over america, but ch2tf was insinuating being both minorities and latinos is a no-no, and that they are mutually exclusive of each other, (she says, and I quote "

You're confusing me here because you assign LTA as an LGLO and a minority GLO within the same paragraph.....So what is it, is LTA an LGLO, is it a minority GLO ")

all i was saying is that if you wanted to get technical, then no, Latinos are not minorities if you look at the fact that there are more latinos than anyone else, or call asians minorities since, technically, one out of every four people on this planet is chinese/indian...

I didn't know you were a non-latina until after I typed that. I was going based on your posts.

I believe you are taking that out of context. My sorority fights for the rights and advancements of all women in many instances because we are an intersection of black and women when it comes to many experiences and issues. That by no means reduces the black in "black college educated women who have committed ourselves to public service."

More than that, the quote continues to reference how "Latina" encompasses various races, cultures, and hues. It references that before and after the "all women." So "all women" seems to be within that context and they see "all women" as paying respect to the diversity of "Latina."

I believe Ch2ft was asking you whether you all primarily target the needs of Latinos, non-Latino minorities, or all women.

But, yes, Latinos are minorities. Technically and otherwise.

I guess my question is why do you have to assume that it is one or the other? We are both about furthering the latino community and uplifting the universal woman since the beginning, and when someone just focuses on one aspect, that is what has been bugging me.

You can be about the latino community and uplifting the universal woman.

But as my post said, the "universal woman" part does not negate or reduce the "latino community" part. Your organization's founding mothers are who they are and your founding purpose is what it is. Even with the "inclusionary" language.

However, your sorority is technically considered a LGLO and is a member of the NALFO.

Did it occur to you that *maybe* this particular discussion is *dead* and we have moved on?

Yes, but I didn’t see any other forums with a similar name. I am kind of new to Greek chat. I apologize.

[knight_shadow]

There are several threads in the "Up and Coming Greek Organizations" about LGLOs. Browse through those if you want to get some insight about what we've discussed in the past.

Cool thanks I hadn't checked that one.

No problem
