I've done A LOT (and I mean A LOT) of research on multicultural sororities. I've tracked down people and info and talked directly to various national officers. Of the 40+ multicultural sororities, there are very few nationals.

I consider local to be one chapter, regional to be more than one chapter in an area, a state or a region, and national to be more than one chapter in more than one region.

Based on these definitions, here they are in order of founding:

Mu Sigma Upsilon Sorority, Inc.
Founding Date: November 21, 1981
*Appears to be predominantly Latina

Lambda Tau Omega Sorority, Inc.
Founding Date: 1988
*Appears to be predominantly Latina

Eta Omega Tau Sorority, Inc.
Founding Date: April 24, 1990
*Predominantly Latina - confirmed

Zeta Sigma Chi Multicultural Sorority, Inc.
Founding Date: March 3, 1991
*Multicultural - confirmed by rocketgirl

Delta Xi Phi Multicultural Sorority, Inc.
Founding Date: April 20th, 1994
*Appears to be multicultural

Lambda Psi Delta Sorority, Inc.
Founding Date: March 9, 1997
*This organization is rather cryptic, but the founders appear to be predominantly Latina.

Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Inc.
Founding Date: April 11, 1997
*Multicultural - confirmed

Delta Xi Nu Multicultural Sorority
Founding Date: October 7, 1997
*Appears to be multicultural

Delta Gamma Pi Multicultural Sorority
Founding Date: November 11, 1998
*Appears to be multicultural

Zeta Chi Phi Multicultural Sorority, Inc.
Founding Date: January 30, 2003
*Appears to be multicultural

Omicron Lambda Pi
Founding Date: April 13, 2003
*This organization is rather cryptic, but the organization has very early ties to a BGLO.

From all appearances, it would seem that of the national multicultural sororities, those that have very apparent MC foundations are (eldest to youngest):

1) Zeta Sigma Chi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. (1991)
2) Delta Xi Phi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. (1994)
3) Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. (1997)
4) Delta Xi Nu Multicultural Sorority (1997)
5) Delta Gamma Pi Multicultural Sorority (1998)
6) Zeta Chi Phi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. (2003)
