Sorhors and Fellow Greeks,

When I was an undergraduate at the University of Delaware we did have Gamma Sigma Sigma and, of course, they were an all caucasian sorority. However, I noticed that when I attended the Greek Picnic in Philly in the mid-80s that many of the gamma sigma sigmas were African American, but they didn't have a call, formally pledge, step, etc. however, they were about doing community service projects and many of them went on to be members of the big 8 at that time because Iota Phi Theta wasn't part of the NPHC.
Anyway the brothers of Alpha Phi Omega did have sweet hearts called foxes and they did step. However, on predominately white campuses they were all about the community service. It is very interesting that greeks in general are having such a hard time dealing with stepping on another organization's toes by maybe using a sign or call or steps from another organization. I commend the young lady that shared information about her organization and I agree with Sorhor Bluereign and others for saying that we really shouldn't get all bent out of shape because some service organziation is using the sign or a sign similar to Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Inc. I didn't pledge my organziation and yes, I pledged in the spring of 82' just because we have a hand sign. I became a member of Sigma Gamma Rho because we really live up to the motto of "Greater Service, Greater Progress."

Stay blessed
