Wondering if there was a similar mobilization in support of Bill Clinton for a second term?

Depends on what part of this you're thinking about. If you mean members of GLOs mobilizing to support candidates, I imagine there was. If you mean NPHC org members being involved in voter education initiatives in the African American community, then I'd be pretty sure of it.

If you mean a SuperPAC like was described in the article being formed, I highly doubt it. They weren't allowed by campaign finance laws until the Citizens United case a few years ago.

This is what I recall right now:

There were organizations in Black communities to mobilize the Black Democrat vote. I do not recall NPHCers being as involved, then again the Internet was not as pervasive in 1996.

Please insert "by Omega Psi Phi and Kappa Alpha Psi" after the word term.

While you're at it, you should also insert "members of" before the word "Omega." Both Dr. Phil and the website to which she linked were clear:
