Your point does not say anything to deny that the rest of the groups openly have Christian roots...representing 23% of NPC. And you cannot deny that Jewish/African-American/Non-religious GLOs were created because at that time there was discrimination in Christian-rooted GLOs and those members were not accepted.

The creation of Black Greek Letter Organizations had nothing to do with being barred from white fraternities and sororities. No founder of any NPHC organization wanted to be a member of a white fraternity or sorority.
BGLOs are a different type of organization entirely. They use fraternalism as the framework of social justice. That is not what the other organizations do.
This is a commonly held misconception, so please don't think I'm attacking you. But it's very important to understand that blacks being barred from membership in white organizations was not the CAUSE for the founding of black organizations.
(Especially since only three of the nine NPHC organizations were even founded at white colleges in the first place.)
