Bicultural and multicultural are sometimes used interchangeably.
Organizations with the purpose of recognizing, promoting, and appreciating different (races and ethnicities and) cultures would be multicultural.
This is different than NPHC organizations that were founded and currently operate for Black Americans and others of the African Disapora. That includes different cultures but only within the "African Diasporic" race and ethnicity. Therefore, even Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta, with their diversity in some chapters, are not multicultural. People who are not of the African Diaspora can become members but the purpose of the organizations do not change with increased diversity in membership.
