I don't think the nature and purpose of my post is understood.
I never implied that Beta/Gamma stole from Blue and White.
I do believe that if it is true that a Sigma was involved in their creation, and that is the reason they have a special place in their hearts for Blue and White, that is a good thing. To say that Beta Gamma have a special relationship with Blue and White would be okay, However, it speaks volumes to refer us as "cousins". Particularly to an organization that already has a constitutional bond to another. When people insist that I do not know my own sorority's history because I do not know about this fraternity and sorority, it leads me to believe that there are others who truly believe and are convinced that Sigmas and Zetas have cousins whether we are all aware of it or not. If some in Blue and White choose to acknowledge them as our cousins, they impose this acknowledgement on all members of the Family because to an outsider, they believe that we should all be on the same page when it comes down to who we claim as family because it is something we pride ourselves on. Unlike other members of the D-9 they can pick and choose who they want to claim as family to some degree depending on where they are and what is accepted in that region. But Blue and White do not have that same liberty because we have so rigidly defined who is family and who is not. We are not about unofficial relationships, we never were. Our history supports this (those who know it). When we as organizations are ready to have "cousins" trust me, it will be addressed Nationally. Now I am all for greek unity, but each org. should know their place. This is where I'm coming from. Think outside the matrix for a hot minute.... just a hot minute, you don't have to agree, just understand it.
