the deal with the canes....
 

Hey DoggyStyle82,

I think it is safe to say that you can never be accused of not speaking your mind!! :) I do have a question for you? (hopefully you will not mind).
Is it about my man Steve Harvey (love him). I know he is Que, but I have always wondered when and where he became a Que?

Thanks...

What do you mean "doesn't apply to SGRho if that is part of your history?" :confused: Didn't understand the statement. :confused:

Re: the deal with the canes....
 

Steve Harvey pledged at Psi Gamma Chapter at Kent State univ in Ohio in 1977, however he was not formally initiated until 1998.

Re: Re: Re: The Kane issue
 

Sorry. I don't know where SGRho's history with the cane came from nor how long its been part of your history. I see a lot of them perform with them and some without. I say that I don't know because I never saw many SGRhos until the mid -90's. None of the 70's or 80's Nupes that I know never mentioned a relationship with SGRho or about teaching them the art of "kaning". If the cane is part of your history, I'll take your word for it. It definitely could be the case in the midwest and I'll take a SGRho's word on that before I trust my limited observation of your org.

DoggyStyle82,

While I appreciate your right to your opinions, can we agree to disagree and not be disagreeable?

To my knowledge, no Sigma Man has come to this forum saying negative things about Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., so why do you feel the need to voice hostility towards Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.?

I have nothing but respect for Alphas, Kappas, Omegas and Iotas. All I ask is that you respect my org in return.

For anyone interested in learning more about Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. involvement with canes, stepping etc...please check out http://www.sigmahistory.cjb.net.

I think this website goes a long way in clearing up "misconceptions" about Sigma.

To DoggyStyle82: I understand your position on these matters (I don't agree, but understand your position) and look forward to "chatting" with you in the future.

Texas Dove you are class act
 

and I love that site. :)

Thanks for the info. Very interesting and informative. Knowledge beats supposition any day. The old pics with the canes was proof enough so I must acquiesce on that being in their tradition. It must be regional because it is not universal as with the Kappas.

PLEASE send me a pm!!!!

Man, it's been a minute since I have been up in here... up in here.
I see things haven't changed much.
It is amazing how quickly dicussions can get heated in this camp.

Well let me put my two cents in.

I do agree with DoggyStyle a little. Frats should do what they do and what they do, only. However, I am sure that some where down the line, some organizations have bitten the styles of other organizations. Nevertheless, we all have a unique style that is "Often imitated :D but never duplicated." I don't care how many organizations started with, used, or incorporated a kane into their history.

NOBODY KNOWS ABOUT KANE like a NUPE:cool: (notice I didn't say Kappa) KNOWS ABOUT KANE ... and I'm not just talking about founders either.

You can twirl it, flip it, roll it, catch it and even hook it.
But until you get in the KUT:mad:, you don't know anything about it!

THAT IS THE DEAL WITH THE KANES.

Re: Baby UM back....
 

That's a'ight, tho' Bobby Earl. The only thing I need to know about canes is that I am good at twirlin' 'em and that in dueling with Kappas on skills, I represent with the best of 'em. :cool:

THAT is the deal, and I know it better then Monty Hall himself ;)

No hard feelings

Thanks
 

TEXAS_DOVE,

I visited your site. It was very informative. I have been a NUPE:cool: for more than a few years, so I have heard a lot of myths, tales, beliefs, and folk stories about Kappa Alpha Psi and all the other Black Frats. However, nothing is like reading, komprehending, and drawing your own konclusion. Unfortunately, so many young (sometimes old, too) brothers chose to believe what the "Ol Skool" brothers tell them and not seek the truth and arrive at their own konclusions.

Thank You for providing us with some "light".

Oh yeah:rolleyes:, almost forget....

Rainman:confused: , you keep practicing with your freshly taped cane (notice I didn't spell it with a K), maybe one day you will be the best :D twirler in the whole wide world. When your doing a difficult move, be careful of the end on the opposite side of the hook. It can sting a little. :eek:

For the record Ms Crimson Tide,

I happen to be an active brother.:p Highly irregular, but active, none the less.

You just gave me an idea for a new thread.

LOL, BobbyEarl, when I wrote this I was referring to the fact that no Kappas were present on GC on an active, regular basis to answer the question posed to YOU ALL AS KAPPAS yet other orgs were coming up in your forum and asking this question as well as trying to answer on your (KAPPA) behalf. That is all I meant. :D
