A Phi Q

"Doggystyle: There's no such thing as A Phi Que."

How do you know? We know all too well that the translation letter for Omega is not Que. As my frat brother stated, people from HBCU's has referred to us as A Phi Ques since the very beginning. Being that my chapter was founded by the Rho Psi Chapter of Omega Psi Phi, I doubt very seriously if they had a problem with referring to the frat as A-Phi-Que.

Moving on, it always amazes me how some think that we are in the business of imitating NPHC greeks? Um, for what? We've (APO) have had handsigns well before NPHC orgs, and line numbers were being used at our Mu Alpha chapter since the early 50s, and yes, Brother Bill Clinton has a line number also! As far as the President over at Howard U, I am here to inform you that he he does refer to the fraternity as A-Phi-Que. Heck, he was instrumental in bringing the chapter back.

Folks need to cut out all this "y'all imititating us" bs. Let the truth be told, all Greek orgs imitate, or have great influences from Masonry, Eastern Star, and Phi Beta Kappa one way or the other. Lets not concern ourselves with the small things, and try to focus more on getting out there in the community. NPHC Greeks are no better than Service, Music, or Professional Greeks. I've even heard someone say that "you're not greek unless you're in the Pan." I was ashame for the individual as well as his chapter for making such a statement. Do weed need to go back and revisit Greek 101. SMH. Carry on.
