To those who are not understanding where my Sorors are coming from:
Think about this: would you be totally cool with someone who is not your brother or sister calling your Mother "Mommy"? I'm not talking about your best friend since you were 5, I'm talking about an acquaintance. You'd probably be taken aback and would no doubt ask this person why s/he is calling YOUR mother "mommy" when the two of you do not share a mother.
Yes, I agree that ON THE SURFACE this seems like a very non-unifying, even petty, conversation. But if one pays attention, it's very clear why people are reacting the way they are. There are regional differences in who considers whom frat & soror.
Not all confrontations/disagreements are bad things. If anything this is a learning experience for us. If you're a Delta living in GA, where Coleman Love is the thing, you probably won't know that the AKAs and Omegas in Utah (for example) are VERY tight. You will be very suprised to hear an AKA, who just moved to GA from Utah, call an Omega "bruh" out of habit. No doubt that Delta will ask what the deal is. That's essentially all that's happened here.
My suggestion to anyone who doesn't understand why we in the NPHC seem to separate ourselves from each other is to look deeper into the conversation and ASK FOR CLARIFICATION BEFORE CONDEMNING US for not doing what we claim to do.
