Isnt the whole idea of a "Latino" only organization racist? Jmlk17 08:38, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps if such a group actually limits its membership to Latinos. In no instance do these fraternities state that they are exclusively for Latinos, though they are obviously interested in promoting a "Latino" identity. In any event, I think few "Latinos" can agree on a solid definition of Latino in the first place. Are Filipinos, Brazilians, European Spaniards and Portuguese, or people with partial or distant "Latin ancestry" Latinos? Who knows, but I'm sure they would be included. 24.28.188.162

All I know is that if a fraternity was to promote a "White" or "Causasian" identity, it would be labeled racist and probably banned. Jmlk17 12:36, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles

Almost all of the article pages are poorly written and have absolutely no sources. Furthermore, they are almost all blatant advertisements. They need to either be deleted (not a good option), or cleaned up and completely overhauled. Jmlk17 23:39, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:LamdaThetaPhiShield.jpg

Image:LamdaThetaPhiShield.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 23:51, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
