This is a huge hijack of the thread, but . . .
I see no trouble with the terms "historically white" or "historically black" or "historically [anything]" if it is a true statement.
You said it yourself, ktsnake - your fraternity had a long and storied history of being primarily white. Many NPHC fraternities have a long and storied history of being primarily black.
It is not an offensive term - it is not saying "All white fraternity" - it is simply accurate in this case, and isn't meant with any bad connotation I am sure (any more than HBGLO).
