I ain't "calling'em out." Just know that if you want info on an org, you go to their sources or risk giving out wrong info.

I refrain from commenting, because it's not just my org.

Sigma & Zeta both share the same colors, creed, symbols from
their shields, and the namesake of the PHI BETA, they are true
originators of the terms "Frat" & "Soror".

Not true, there are several white fraternities/sororities that were constitutionally bound way before PBS and ZPB were founded. And actually the term frat and soror were commonly used before that. They are just shortened versions of frater and sis-soror, which are interfraternal/intersorority greetings.

:D :)

True, but lets not leave it so open ended. At the time Byron K. Armstrong and Elder Watson Diggs were already formulating ideas and information about what would become KAPsi. At the time they were known as being members of the Alpha Omega Order of Illustrious Gentlemen. Simply for a name sake. They were asked to assimilate into a particular organization, because of "commonly shared goals", but they declined.
