Yes, this can be done. First you need to install the Code Snippets plugin.

Add a new snippet with the following code:

function cn_entry_types( $atts ) {

    $atts['entry_type'] = array( __( 'Organization', 'connections' ) => 'organization' );

    $atts['default']['type'] = 'organization';

    $atts['default']['visibility'] = 'public';

    return $atts;
}

add_filter( 'cn_admin_metabox_publish_atts', 'cn_entry_types', 11 );

Save and activate the new snippet.

That should do it.
