Plus, there's Alpha Phi Delta. It was founded by and for Italian-Americans.

I think that there are other NIC groups that began with a specific ethnicity but APD is the only one I know of.

This is part of where I was going with this. Thanks for adding the detail.

The other part goes beyond ethnicities that have assimilated into "whiteness." Historically and majority "white" GLOs have their own histories that can't be ignored just because they don't formally state a "cultural" purpose or a "racial and ethnic community" that they historically or contemporarily target.

BTW, I think I'm just now seeing what Panther was really saying. I think that he specifically addressed AGLOs, LGLOs, and MCGLOs instead of applying it to all GLOs led to his point being misinterpreted.
