I think it's just best to accept that they don't like the term and to refrain from using it. Though I understand both sides of the debate, as an outsider to the NPC/NIC, it's just better if I call them what they prefer to be called, and describe them as "general" fraternities and sororities as described in Baird's.
Yes, we are "general" fraternities and sororities, too, but we don't mind being called Black, historically Black, cultural, or whatever.

In conversation I do not refer to them (NPCs) as 'Historically White' because I've never heard NPCs referred to that way. But, it still does not change the fact that they were historically White.
