I agree with your thinking. I think people should join what they feel comfortable with, but the reason why I refer to WGLOs as WGLOs is because when African Americans tried to join those organizations around the turn of the 20th Century they weren't allowed. So the WGLOs obviously saw skin color. That's in the past, but I was reading two books one was called "Wrongs of Passage" and the other was called "Pledged." Both books talked about how today at some chapters blacks aren't excepted in WGLOs. Sad but true. Since they still discrminate and see skin color, I refer to WGLOs as WGLOs.
