If this is the case then why does Alpha Phi Alpha and every other BGLO recognize Alpha Phi Alpha as the FIRST?

I understand that Sigma Pi Phi did not open up membership to those in college (for a while, but when they did they changed their minds). I also understand that membership into Sigma Pi Phi was and still is highly selective and was known to only be for the African-American bourgeoisie. However it still doesn't erase the fact that when it comes to ESTABLISHED BGLOs Sigma Pi Phi is number one.

Another concern is that since this is true, why is it that when I was doing my research Sigma Pi Phi is never mentioned. Is it taboo because the first BGLO had such discriminating taste against their own race? I must know. Is it only called Divine Nine instead of Divine Ten because Alpha Phi Alpha did not affiliate themselves with Sigma Pi Phi but yet there were members like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who carried dual membership in both organizations?

I am not trying to be disrespectful in anyway. Can someone just answer my question?

Thank You.

I just want to know why you had the secret code abbreviated for "are you a klansman" in your username.

Kind of creepy.

Freakanomics had a bit on it.

She's definitely a girl.
