Speaking as a member of Alpha Chapter, the term "P&G Love" is in use and is not limited to chapters in NY, and I personally feel that there is nothing wrong with it. In response to a statement made earlier:
"Our bonds need to remain simple and reflective of our history. Making up all this new stuff just complicates things and dillutes our real history. Its bad enough we have to argue and fuss over who our REAL bruhs are and why we have the bond that we do, we don't need all this extra stuff"
I am in total disagreement. We live in an increasingly more complicated world. We are all working towards the same goal of bettering the black community and the world as a whole. Limiting the acceptance and tolerance of these possible "connections" and partnerships, limits our collective ability to respond to the changing needs of society. All of our organizations are beautiful and distinct in their own way and none of this can be diminished by looking for commonalities amongst us, no matter how trivial they may seem.

All of our organizations have commonalities...some based on where we were founded, principles, goals, etc. If mere commonalities constitute a "bond," we need to go on head and remember that all of our organizatins share a bond. Although I'm Delta-centric (everything revolves around DST
), we're all black community-centric...that's our focus.
In relation to this specific discussion, I think some of us are stressing the difference b/w a connection, commonalities, and a bond. Connections and commonalities do not (always) constitute a bond.
