Both have great principals that kinda overlap but there is still a divide. I have ran into Kappas that question me for being a Mason and Masons that question me for being a Kappa. I love both just in different ways.
I don't think Masons are intimadated by greeks just more of a feeling of respect your roots. Masonry is the oldest Fraternal Order and although college is not a requirement a large number of college educated men are masons and they know which founders of all four (opp's five) Greek Frats were Masons. I know that at least the Alpha's, Kappa's, Que's, and Sigma's had at least one founder that was a Mason. So the feeling is more respect your heritage.

I can understand the history of being a Mason and what it has to do with BGLO's, however, I was approached by a young man who is a Mason and he was like, you better give thanks to your 'daddy', because we made all BGLO fraternities. My first response was that my daddy is neither a mason or a greek, so I don't know what he has to do with anything! And the funny thing, is that he is so vocal about wanting to be a NUPE!
