My organization, Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. was founded on the campus of Butler University. Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. was founded on the campus of Indiana University. Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity Inc., the first of the BGLOs that continue to exist today, was founded on the campus of Cornell University.
The founders of the NPHC organizations/BGLOs did not do so on only all-black campuses.
On the segregation question - well said, Kimmie.
