Sure. As long as the plaintiff could show (not saying they could, but if) that BGLO's, despite no actual ban on non Af-Am members, were nearly or completely exclusively Black and were being granted a status not offered to their White counterparts on the basis of race, that is a sustainable lawsuit, IMO. Because the most obvious difference is race and if they are drawing the line around all the orgs in a certain group and not looking case by case, some one might choose to challenge them. I think that applies more to Xavier if they recognize BGLO's and will not recognize NIC/NPC orgs than Princton.
As for Princeton, my understanding is they do not recognize any GLO's and are debating how far that should extend based on the impact of minority students if they were to not only not recognize them but ban them from campus. Many city wide chapters (in my experience) are not recognized by the university but are acknowleged to the extent that they may have activities on campus.
