We dont need men ;) for our sorority but for our bedrooms that is a diff story LOL..........actually we are good girls...... all of us have serious boyfriends, engaged, married, or virgins....... weird huh...

Though we DO NOT have an official brother fraternity (the only recognized bro/sis connection that I know of is ZPhiB/PBS), our chapter is very close to Delta Chi. We do alot with them since they live next door. Alot of my sisters are lavaliered to them. Some of them even have "big/lil bros" in the chapter. :)

PiPhi at my school was associated with Phi Delt.

...however the Phi Delt chapter at my school was shut down this spring so there will be none of that....at least for 5-6yrs

*sigh*

A lot of the sorority chapters at my school were previously "little sister" groups to the different fraternities before they were colonized as part of a national organization.

Sometimes that shows a little bit with inter-greek relations. Some of the chapters keep close to their former "big brothers" and some of them don't.

As for AGD, it was colonized on campus (the first women's fraternity here) as a completely independent organization, so we don't have ties with any one of the five fraternities on campus that go beyond "well I'm dating so-and-so" or "well I'm the sweetheart of XYZ fraternity."

We pick who we do mixers with, we pick who we do greek week and homecoming with, and so on without worrying about hurting our "big bro's" feelings. We're closer with some than others just because those are who our friends are.

Personally, I have really close guy friends in both ZBT and PiKA, and I have a "pseudo big" in PiKA but that's not official through AGD or anything, he's just unhappy with his tree right now so I told him I would be his little haha.

to the Zetas:
i am absolutely sure my soror meant no offense to you when she claimed to be your "cousin," but to be honest, that is how the ladies of SLG are educated, to look up to the organizations whose ideals and principals inspired and motivated our founders. the connection she was reffering to is that one of the founders of Sigma Lambda Beta was a Sigma, and SLG was founded and molded using the ideas, history, manuals, etc. of SLB. Sharing a headquarters with SLB, and with both groups having a joint member who now serves as the executive director, we (Gammas) do call the Betas our brothers, but also acknowledge that there is NO official recognition on the part of ANY of the involved GLOs. We as Gammas have deep love and respect for Sigma Lambda Beta, Zeta Phi Beta, and Phi Beta Sigma. On some campuses, including my own, the Zetas and Sigmas DO claim the Gammas and Betas as family. Again, I hope my soror didn't offend you. Much Love & Respect to all the Greek Fam.

We are officially the sisters of Pi Beta Sigma

Tau Delta/Pi Beta Sigma
Sigma Alpha Tau (Owls)/ Zeta Phi
Theta Nu/ Lambda Gamma Epsilon (Kings)
Kappa Phi Omega/ Sigma Delta Phi (Sphinx)
Tau Epsilon Mu/ Pi Kappa Phi (Country Club) *not the national*
Epsilon Kappa Tau/ Eta Phi Mu (Jonda)

At WVU, when I pledged a few years ago I was told that Pi Phi was our sister sorority. Lately it seems that we have had a falling out and don't do too much anymore.

Talking to both Beta's and Pi Phi's nationally, I always got the impression that they are usually brother/sister fraternites.

No.

The only official brother/sister relationship on a national level is between Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity. No official relationship exists between any NPC and NIC group.

Re: Re: I thought...
 

OH, I am so quotable.

Coramoor, I have heard the rumor about Beta and Pi Phi a lot. But there isn't any official relationship between us, nationally or locally.

I always thought Phi Kappa Tau and Phi Mu were brother/sister. Maybe that's just one school.

The thing about our system is that the matching is COMPLETELY off. Our brothers don't do anything with us. If they have mixers during pledging, it's only with one sorority...they won't give any social things to other houses (makes getting signatures and chats REALLY difficult). I just don't see how they fit any more.

Re: Re: Re: I thought...
 

I guess I should have put in that I have usually heard it as an unoffical relationship.

The sorority that I'm officially interested in, Mu Sigma Upsilon, is part of the "Upsilon Family" with Lambda Sigma Upsilon, Latino fraternity. They are constitutionally bound and everything because they were founded 2 years apart on the same campus. MSU is a multicultural sorority, but some have the misconception that they are Latina because their founders and brother fraternity are.

*Danielle*

PS: When I say "officially interested," I mean it. The interest group has its own EBoard and everything. We just can't say we're part of the sorority because it's unclear whether or not we will cross. Just added that to let you guys know I'm not some loser stalker or anything like that.

never bound to one fraternity except ADPi
 

I believe Adpi only has recognized one group of men as anything more then a greek or an independent and those are the wonderful men who became KOD (king of diamonds). I assume all ADPi chapters have this and they are a special guy that year who has helped us without being asked and stepped up without stepping out of line.

We stopped having "big brothers" around 1990. because of that no mixing of the sexes in glo's (or whatever) thing.

Don't get me wrong KOD's are not initiated or anything they are just held above the rest. Not always greek, Not always a boyfriend, but always King of Diamonds. (however my junior and senior years were both Sigma Chi's)

none of that is offical at our campus. There was unoffical, like a sorority would spend alot of time at a particular fraternity. But, now, that is even getting mixed up. AST and ZBT are the only ones that are staying close on that. I think because during Greek Week we have a rotation so everyone always works with someone different.
