my campus didnt have any alpha phi omega's or gamma sigma sigmas, but i can speak on a time when when some of my sorors had "issues" with gamma sigma sigma about 5 years ago....
i dont think that there is tension between the NPHC and the 25/52 family as a whole. To my understanding (and from what I've noticed), the only chapters that get beef from "us" are those that are predominately black.
Now, (and someone please feel to correct me if i'm just all wrong..) the predominately black chapters are the ones that have adopted such things as a call (wee-oop), a handsign (looks just like sgrho's, except the hand faces outwards instead of inwards), strolls..... these are things that are not official as far at the the (inter)national body is concerned.
and i'm pretty sure that these things have very special meanings to the members, but some of us dont understand (me being one of them) why if particular chapters wanted to take on these (historically NPHC) traditions, would they choose things that would APPEAR to be a combination of all of our stuff (not implying that it is!).
that's the ONLY reason why i think tension exists between the groups (just being honest!).
