I think why a few of us are a little uneasy about our organizations being called "historically white" (and I can't speak for everyone) is because some of our GLO's were founded upon welcoming all races, creeds, religions, etc. into our membership. I understand that a lot of the NPC's (or what people are calling the "historically white" sororities) were founded for Caucasians... but like I said, not all of them were. And so blanketing the WHOLE conference like that is disrespectful, because it's as though you don't want to learn about how different our organizations really are.
If most of your OLDER GLO's were founded at schools during a time when minorities weren't allowed to attend, then they are historically white GLO's. Who else was there to join? Again not trying to be disrespectful and call yourself what you want I'm just trying to clarify why we oftern refer to you as historically or white.
