I had never heard of Gamma Sigma Sigma , until one of my Sorors told me about them. Alpha Phi Omega was just becoming active
(or reactivating) at Howard when I was graduating. They operated more under the tenet of an scholarly and service fraternity. There was NO issue with them at Howard University. I believe often times said "animosity" is isolated.
I will say this, I think the issue raised by the member who stated she would not recognize someone if they did a call, is valid. Who decided it was okay that some members will emulate NPHC orgs and some will not? Is n't that exclusionary to your own members to act in such a matter?
Dare chapters create rituals and processes unrecognized by its membership...where is the unification of process? Please, do NOT answer this question...Its just one of those outsider things that make you go ...hmm.
I would be disturbed if my Sorors or Frat for that matter did not immediately recognize me if I were visiting a campus.
We have to be careful not to perpetuate the "problem" when many times no problem exists.
For the record, I ditto all who say imitation is the highest form of flattery...step on, call on, greet on, make that hand sign, and all of that good stuff. Fellow Greeks...try not to get too much in a huff over it all. We have SERVICE to do :-)
