If you mean BGLO (Black Greek Letter Organizations), it depends on what you call "history". Each of the organizations have their own history which you can research individually, though the movement itself dates to 1904 (not the 1906 a certain organization would have you believe) with the advent of Sigma Pi Phi, the oldest known Black Greek Letter Organization. Organized in Philadelphia, it remains as a graduate level organization. Membership is "inivitation only". You can find more about them here: Sigma Pi Phi: http://www.sigmapiphi.org/home/ The Rest in Succession: Fraternities Alpha Phi Alpha (1906, Cornell University) Omega Psi Phi (1911, Howard University) Kappa Alpha Psi (1911, Indiana State University) Phi Beta Sigma (1914, Howard University) Iota Phi Theta (1963, Morgan State Univeristy) Sororities Alpha Kappa Alpha (1908, Howard University) Delta Sigma Theta (1913, Howard Univeristy) Zeta Phi Beta (1920, Howard Univeristy) Sigma Gamma Rho (1922, Butler University) Of course there is tons more to each organization, as a rule you can find the official website of the organization by the name and ".org" (like http://www.iotaphitheta.org). Hope this helps.
