Yes. I was not referring to the shirt in this comment. Just exploring the idea / possibility that AKA may or may not have been the first HBGL-sorority, unless we have absolute proof otherwise. (That is why I refered to Baird's Manual. The early editions seemed to be very comprehensive in terms of the origins and aspects of all known GLOs in the US at the time of the publishing date, i.e, 1933 and earlier editions.) People like to think that APhiA was the first HBGL-fraternity, but like I said, I think Sigma Pi Phi (Boule') was founded a few years before 1906 (I could be wrong) and they are not part of the NPHC, yet they were / are considered a Black fraternity. I was just acknowledging too that there are HBGLOs that exist outside the NPHC that may or not have been influenced by the members of the NPHC. Just trying to be a little philosophical......
