I've seen a couple of white Deltas and read between the lines.

Why do you feel that historically white, prominent chapters have to embrace minorities and diversify? It is their right to be selective.
Maybe you don't see any black guys into that stuff because that is your culture and not theirs?

(Oh...I'm black, and I definitiely don't listen to that stuff -- although I love the Clash, the Sex Pistols, The Jam -- British punk from the 80s. And yes, that is my culture )

Talking My take

I believe that the main reason that MCGLOs were started we because when you pledge; you are joing a sisterhood or brotherhood -- not just an organization. Therefore, you and your sister/brothers essentially share some common ideals.

Most MCGLOs were formed from the 1980s forward. American society during that time changed. American neighborhoods became more multicultural and more accessible to people of diverse backgrounds. It is in that environment that "some" people grew to acknowledge that while their own culture is important...they saw the profound effect that functioning in a multicultural environment had on them as people. Of course, this is not the case always; MCGLOs DO have some members who grew up in more culturally homogenous environments...but they probably possess a desire to place themselves into that sort of environment eventually.

In my case, if there were no such thing as a MCGLO, I would not have pledged a social sorority. My father is Jamaican and my mother is African-American; but I grew up in a very small town where the population was probably 30% Black, 60% White, and 10% everything else (but no Hispanics). The surrounding areas seemed about 80 to 90% White. Therefore I was involved in a lot of activities and situations where I was the only Black person. And in my school...which did have a sizeable Black population, no one was West Indian/Carribbean. I remember when I had to go to Jamaica for 3 weeks because of my Grandmother's funeral and a subsequent wedding; classmates and even teachers acted like I went on an expedition to Anartica or something -- some even commented that they were surprised I looked the same! (WTF? ). So I've ALWAYS had to explain either myself, my family to others who weren't familiar with my culture. To make things even more interesting, I converted to Judaism when I was 16. That opened up a whole new can of worms I must say...especially in college (where I was the only Black member of Hillel...surprise, surprise).

So for me to join a historically Black organization wouldn't have fit me; not because that is not my culture; but because that is not my ONLY culture. I am Black, West Indian, Jewish, and Female and I wanted to be a part of something where all of that would not only be accepted...but celebrated. I could have also joined a historically White sorority, but I needed something with more flexibility in it's membership (most MGCLOs work a bit differently with their membership types).

Hey, I received the Huey Lewis and the News Sports cassette tape for my birthday in the 4th grade...when it was originally released. I was just unaware that his popularity had been resurrected.
