Let's remember what HBCU stands for: Historically Black College or University.

As opposed to Hypothetically or Happened-to-become.

We could call those H(ypothetically)BCUs O(nce)PWIs, maybe? We wouldn't want any misled white kids going there by mistake, after all, so they need some sort of racial label

True.  Don't forget funding for HBCUs.
The racial makeup of a campus will be interpreted as an HBCU even if the history isn't indicative of that. The parts of the website that I read weren't too detailed regarding the history and makeup, I mostly went based on the GLOs.

Well if you go by that...my alma mater currently has 3 NPHC fraternities and 3 NIC fraternities, but the racial makeup there certainly isn't 50% white men/50% black men.

Well, the only GLOs that I saw were BGLOs and organizations geared toward minorities, so I didn't know why that would be the case given the population size.
But now that I have looked at their site again I see other organizations, including this http://adminservices.clayton.edu/cam.../greeknews.htm

In my observation:
If you have a school that is becoming a more traditional campus versus a commuter school, or just converted from a 2-year, or whatever the situation may be that opens it up to Greek life, you often have the D9 groups coming on first versus NPC/IFC. There's more desire to bring particular BGLOs onto campus within the student body than for any particular other group, so it often takes more time to develop those interest groups.
