That's exactly right.
I really hate it when people hide behind the term Politically Correct (PC). That's just too easy.
In this case, though, it's pretty much what has happened. The terms have gotten confused.
There are a whole bunch of folks, including a lot of US Presidents, Congresspersons, captains of industry and just plain folks like me who "rushed and pledged" and managed to live through it just fine, thank you.
This is one case (there has to be at least one) in which I'm in total agrement.
The reason for the new terms is unfortunate -- as is the fact that they fly in the face of a couple hundred years of Fraternity and Sorority Tradition.
