It was always my understanding that the Boule was the first BGLO. It was for professional men and A Phi A hence was the first BGLO for collegiate men. Although the Masons are a fraternal organization, I have never heard them called a BGLO. I always beleived that was the distinction.
Although the article described them as the first Black Fraternity, I think it was poor choice of words and that the implication really was BGLO.
