IMPROVED ANSWER-- YES! Alpha Kappa Alpha is referred to as an "historically black" sorority because it was started by African American women on an African American college campus, but we do not discriminate based on ethnicity.
As an aside, I've often wondered why we preface BGLO's with the phrase "historically Black," when no one refers to GLO's started by Caucasians on Caucasian college campuses--which actually DID DISCRIMINATE BASED ON ETHNICITY--as "historically Caucasian," even though it would be an accurate identification (the same goes for HBCUs, which are often quite diverse). Anyway, that's a rant in and of itself. lol
In fact, Alpha Kappa Alpha probably has more "other than African American" members than the historically caucasion sororities have members who are "other than Caucasian." In my experience, in an undergraduate chapter that averaged about 5 members, there were two Latina (Mexican and Puerto Rican) girls. There are also a few non-black members of my graduate chapter.
