I would hasten to add as, it is my understanding that at least for the first two black letter greek organizations, they were founded because they couldn't get into the white ones.

I think you're confused...
The orgs that make up the "Divine 9" belong to the NPHC, which is the National Pan-Hellenic Council.
While the "predominately white sororities" you talk about belong to the NPC, which is the National Panhellenic Conference.
And the "predominately white fraternities" you talk about belong to the NIC, which is the North-American Interfraternity Conference.
Also, saying "predominately white" for either the NPC or NIC is an incorrect assumption. Since in the orgs in NPC do not restrict membership to just white women. And at least 8 (that I personally know of - there may be more) fraternities that are in NIC are either African-American, Latino, or Asian based.
I'm not trying to flame, I'm just trying to help educate.
