I think both of us are coming from two different sides of this; you're org was founded for African American women at a predominantly African American university, while mine was designed to "promote open membership to all women of character regardless of background." So you may not think that there's anything bad about being called "historically black", "white", etc. but in my case, the only thing Phi Sigma Sigma should be referred to, if not as just an NPC organization, is as "historically diverse" (or something similar) fraternity.
And what year was your organization founded?
