Question What Umbrella Org is this?

I did a brief search but didn't see this answers anywhere, so I apologize if this is a common set of questions.

I'm trying to figure out what umbrella organization houses the Asian interest sororities (such as alpha Kappa Delta Phi and Kappa Phi Lambda). I'm having trouble finding a clear answer.

Also, could anyone tell me if these are considered social sororities? If they are not, what are they classified as?

I have an unusual situation where I was pledging an NPC several years ago, but I ended up depledging a few days before initiation. I accept responsiblity for my poor decision making, I should have done my homework, but I took everything at face value and pledged with the wrong people for me. I was jaded at 18, did not understand the processes involved, and I was told that I would not be a sister based on my verbal "goodbye" to the group. However, a few months later I found out that I was initiated even though I'd left beforehand (which, I don't know the full process involved, but any papers signed were forged), and it took me over a year to get my letters dropped with the org. They implied to me then that I would be erased from all records and it would be like I was never put down as an initiated member and I would be free and clear, which made me believe that I would be able to keep the greek option open for the future - but I found out later that that was very untrue.

I understand that there's no going into another major social sorority associated with NPC or NPHC (so please don't start flaming me for that), which does leave me bitter as I had made the point to depledged to leave that option open in the future - but I've mostly made my peace with that. There are however a lot of aspect of greek life that I do like and would like to try to be involved in. As such, I'm very interested in cultural based sororities that pertain to me, I'm just not positive how they classify themselves or what rules they have for/against people like me.

If the Asian interest sorors are a dead end for me, is there anything left that I could even consider (besides the honorary societies)?
