I am not an historian, neither do I claim to be. I do know of the delta relationship with Alphas and Ques and how some of their members aided in your formation as an organiZation(many of your founders married them)but you all chose to not to solidify your bonds with either of them. I also know that the akas were helped by the Alphas in their formation, but again, they chose not to solidify their relationship with them. From the time Zeta was formed, it was formed to be the Sister organiZation to Phi Beta Sigma, so we just did'nt get "help" from Sigmas(and we have more than the african violet in common with them), we took an extra step that the other Sororities did not in forming a everlasting relationship with our Brothers (and none of our Founder ever even married Sigmas). We stand as two independent organiZations with a common dream, a common history, goals, and definitely more than just a piece of paper...but it does not define who we are as an organiZation...
I made my views perfectly clear about what I felt about our bond with Sigmas and other's bonds with other organiZations. As an older greek, I don't believe that you should concern yourself with what the "youngins" say, as they can sometimes get gung ho about their organiZation and lose sight of the even bigger picture(Deltas included) about why we are here...not to fuss and argue with each other about silly topics but to handle the important issues both in our organiZations and amongst our people.
