[TRUE ZETA]

I saw the post in question in the Iota forum and I didn't think that the relationship between Sigma Gamma Rho and Iota Phi Theta is in any way official. I think that the organizations have some unofficial and unrecognized bonds across the country, but I don't see it as biting our style, or somehow trying to capitalize on the bond between Zeta Phi Beta and Phi Beta Sigma.

As it was explained to me by a prominent member of Iota Phi Theta(and in the forum), Iota will never have a sister organization, and they're okay with that. The bond that was represented in the post in question was one of mutual respect and admiration.

What's it to us if the ladies of Sigma Gamma Rho wish to express their gratitude/affection/respect for the men of Iota? How does this (or any other non-blue and white pairing) take away from what we share with our Sigma brothers?


I have to disagree with you soror on that one. It takes away because our bond is unique and if someone imitates our bond..its is biting ...no more ...no less. Also, I guess I am from the "old school" because my thoughts are always with Blue and White. I dont care about the AKAs, the Deltas, the SGRhos or whoever. I love Zeta and Sigma...NO MORE...NO LESS. As what was told to me by Soror Lueila Harrison, the 14 Grand Basileus of our sorority..."we are in competition for quality members for our sorority.." So any infringment on what makes Zeta different is something I take personal. I am a solider for Zeta until the day I die, and this "greek unity" mess is just that mess. We are African Americans so we should be unified regardless, but when it comes to Zeta and my pearls...I will do what is required to make it shine and stand above the rest. So, when I see the others with these unoffical bro/soror relationships...it makes me upset because I see it as a personal slap in my face.
