brother or sister frats?
 
who is you sister sorority, or brother fraternity????

Sigma Alpha--ALpha Gamma Rho

PenguinTrax 02-23-2001 04:00 PM

Zeta Tau Alpha has no brother fraternity nor do we allow men's affiliate organizations or 'little brothers'.

Are you and AGP constitutionally bonded, like Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta, or just traditionally considered to be brother/sister groups?

BFulton 02-23-2001 04:07 PM

Sigma Alpha and Alpha Gamma Rho are not officially bonded or brother/sister organizations.

We do have a very positive working relationship, and many of our SA chapters grew from what had once been AGR "little sister" chapters. The groups have similar goals and requirements.

Therefore, I'd characterize the relationship as an "informal family" arrangement. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

Phi Sigma Delta and Phi Sigma Rho
UW-Milwaukee

the rho's were our little-sister program up until a year ago, they broke off and formed their organization, yet we are very similar in ideals, and we do many things together, and since they don't have a house yet, they are always at ours.

My local sorority, Alpha Sigma, is coupled with a local fraternity, Phi Chi Epsilon, both which are at University of Wisconsin - Whitewater.

Nationally Chi Omega's brother fraternity is Kappa Simga.
Locally my chapter claims the Pi Kappa Alphas only because there is no Kappa Sigma chapter to affiliate with.

What do you get when you cross and Alpha Omicron Pi and a Sigma Phi Epsilon? A beautiful Chi Omega!!!

As the history goes, Gamma Sigma Sigma is the sister sorority to Alpha Phi Omega. In 1952, two young women, who were girlfriends of APO Brothers, wanted a Service organization of their own, and Gamma Sigma Sigma was born.

Do you spend time with any of the PSK'S or LXA's at uw-ww?

Historically, Gamma Sig is the sister sorority to APO. We share similiar ideals of Service and Friendship.

I see my brother Gerald has been reading up on GSS! Good job! *just kidding* Sisterly luv to you!

We dont allow that with Beta either.

As an undergrad at George Mason, most of it depended on who my brothers were dating, who we did homecoming with if we choosed to do it, and sometimes a good social. When I pledged we hung out with XO a lot, then after I was initiated we hung out more with AOII, and before I graduated Alpha Phi. We usually hung out with these three but it was mostly AOII. XO tended to hang out with Sig Ep and Pike. AOII hung out with us, Kappa Sig, Pike. Alpha Phi tended to hang out with AXP and EX.

kappa alpha theta is formally linked to phi gamma delta (fiji) on the national level, but we don't do much with the fiji's on my campus.

LyonAZD 03-20-2001 05:56 PM

alpha xi delta is constitionally not linked to Sigma Nu, but they are considered our brother fraternity as the were instrumental in our founding.

mumbles026 03-20-2001 09:35 PM

Delta Gamma's brother fraternity is Phi Delta Theta. We dont have Phi Delts at our school(unf) but one near us has them.

loviest95 03-21-2001 10:45 AM

In the NHPC Zeta Phi Beta and Phi Beta Sigma are linked by their constitutions--


AKA & A Phi A
Delta Sigma Theta ans Omega Psi Phi
are linked by tradition

I am not sure about the rest of the divine 9

We did one last year with them, however, I'd like to see more collaboration on our campus with our sister sorority. I just sent the president of the Delta Chi chapter an e-mail extending an invitation to do just that.

That's great, Gerald! I talk with the pres just about everyday on our National board. I think she'd like that!

Nationally Alpha Gamma Delta and Lambda Chi Alpha are coupled (I had been told because they are neighbors in Indianapolis Greekdom Capital) but locally we don't do anything with them although I think we are putting on the Double Vision program with them... it's what we are supposed to do, pair up with LXA and put this program on although I have no clue what it is... anyone here seen it?

Contrary to popular belief, the bond between Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Incorporated and Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated goes far beyond constitution. It is very important part of our HISTORY. A VERY PROUD HISTORY that we love and cherish.

I have heard of many "linkages" of other NPHC organizations...none I will discredit. If other organizations want to build on the family ideal as the Royal Blue Family began/created...fine by me! Let's be real we have all borrowed something from each other at some point in time.

We all cannot be the first to be or do everything. But to say the Zeta-Sigma bond is simply constitutional is inaccurate.

And since we are talking about family...
What about Indiana Love? Certainly the HISTORY of their foundation deserves the same credit as those other mentioned organizations that claim familial linkage.

If we are going to take it there...let's keep it REAL.

Hmm, I've never heard of AGD & LXA being nationally coupled. Is that even allowed?

And isn't there a lot of GLOs HQ-ed on Founders Road in Indianapolis?

Oohteenywahine.. i hope I spelled that right!! LXA is right next door to AGD and so they are coupled together a lot when all of the fraternity and sorority leadership consultants are in Indy. Last year we were told that they are our "brother fraternity" because we share double vision with them and also because our IHQ's are so tight. That isn't official, I am sure. But I think it is unspoken or something. Just some info I had been told.
