Well since we were on the topic of bonds, on some campuses you will find different BGLOs claiming a bond not normally heard like Alpha Kappa Alpha/Kappa Alpha Psi or Delta Sigma Theta/Alpha Phi Alpha. I stated the whole marriage thing to explain where some of these so called bonds come from. Any brother that has to throw "well Alphas married Delta founders so what about your Coleman love now" is trying way too hard.:rolleyes: Trust that we are good just the way we are.;)

Of course, I've never heard an AKA or an Alpha deny the bond between their two organizations, but I have heard a Delta let someone know that the Que's were NOT her bruhs... And I've definitely heard discrepancy from every angle as far as KAPsi and Sigma Gamma Rho are concerned...

That shows how much I follow these varying bonds on some college campuses. :) I thought some Deltas bonded with Apes because of something like "fire and ice"--whatever that really means. Just like many Deltas think sharing colors and hair care products means they have to bond with Krappas. :)

Whatever floats folks' boats. :D

First bolded: Yeah, I always though that was a pretty thin "connection" -- but nobody thinks to ever connect the Pyramid and Sphinx aesthetic.

Second bolded: ihatechu. LOL

I think I may've seen a Pyramid and Sphinx connection. Maybe that only happens on campuses where the Deltas and Alphas have extremely high GPAs. :)

The best bonds happen at Sally's Beauty Supply. Don't hate!

Although the extent of the Omegas help in our founding has been greatly exaggerated, what they did do was offer advice as to how to get HU to accept the sorority. They based it on their own experiences in trying to get founded.

And the choice of the purple violet as our official flower was PARTLY in recognition of the Omegas help. However, we have never had a constitutional (official) bond as sisters and brothers the way that the Sigmas and Zetas do.

And as already mentioned, it appears that early on there were more founders, national presidents, etc. that married Alphas than Omegas.

ETA: Although I love the Omegas, I will correct any that call me soror. That is strictly reserved for initiates of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Such as what? I'm curious because I always thought the Kappa/SGRho "Indiana Love" was more of a superficial notion because of the founded in Indiana thing than anything historically more substantive than that.

Personally, I'm not too keen about Kappa being "encumbered" to any one sorority as a "sister" org. I like the more commonly accepted notion by brothers that "Kappa loves 'em all".
