Now, I know I can't speak for the other NPC sororities, but I still hesitate to refer to my own AGD as historically white. It may have been that way from 1904-1952, but not the case from 1953-present.
I respect your reason.

My only point is that by virture of NPC membership for a period in their history they were all White. Just as my alma mater, Texas A&M, was all male, all White from 1876-1965. Look in any yearbook during that time period and that is the only type of student you will see. Is Texas A&M referred to as a HWCU? No, but it does not take away from the fact that it was.

I, myself, am not trying to be offensive. But, I do think acknowledging (?sp) a time period in history should not be offensive. If your sorority / fraternity is about sisterhood / brotherhood, then the bonds you make should be colorblind.
