Personally, I'm worried that the new influx of multi-cultural and ethnic GLOs may take AWAY membership from NPC/NIC groups in campuses where membership is already pretty diverse.

I know it's not really any of my beeswax, but I'm also worried that years down the road, Asians (for example) who rush HWGLOs will be seen as white-washed and not "loyal" to their cultures the same way many African Americans are today.
I'm sorry but I have to disagree - even in the context of UofT... any interest in the Greek system outside of the widely accepted "norm" (refering to the rich WASP segment) is a step forward for me...

An interest in GLOs, within a community that normally would have dismissed GLOs out of hand as the purvue of an elite 'ethnic' group, and most importantly combats or dispells this mis-labelling does a service to the whole of the greek community - specifically within a system that is unfairly marginallized because of community misconceptions...
