Most of the well-known, prominent black persons in American society are alumna/i of NPHC fraternities and sororities! These people include Martin Luther King, Jr. and Maya Angelou. Black people might still be using a seperate bathroom and drinking from a different water fountain than white people if it weren't for some of these prominent NPHC members and alums. I don't know what they do within their own traditions and whatnot but they must be doing something right!
