Hadn't read all of this before. But since my grandfather was a Sigma, a PHA Mason, and a PhD, I feel compelled to respond.

I suppose that I should thank you for your response and I will try to respond with the utmost Greek Love.

Being an ardent traditionalist and one who doesn't like my Frat Life blended, I have some quibbles with your statements.

2) You and the Kappas can fight over the cane, but no one that I know between '1970 and '1990 recall seeing Sigmas with canes.

I have--a lot.

3) While I won't agree that Sigmas are the best "steppers", I will say that they have mastered the factors that influence judges in these days of themes, dancing, gimmicks, and music. Sigmas never won shows until these became prevalent.

I have seen many shows won by Sigmas before the current gimmicks came into place. They have always been tight steppers.

5) Blu Phi does not sound like 06, but the cadence is very similar.

And???? skee wee and eee-yip have the same cadence, too.

8) Damn, I guess the Ques stole everything from the Sigmas. Even the distinctive "hook" that looks nothing like any other frat sign. Be for real. C'mon, you are a Neo and all, but you cannot really belee 'dat, can you?

Used to see it. Pulled in tightly it resembles a Z, thus I assumed the greeting to the Zetas.

9) The Dog? Even when Sigmas had an above ground process and went from Crescents to Dogs during "hell week", they never ever referred to themselves as "Dogs" or a "Dogmatic" image.

In my day all of the frats became dogs during Hell Week. And were referred to as such by the Big Brothers.

In summation, I am happy for you that PBS is no longer the Rodney Dangerfield of Black Greekdom. Lying to oneself and recreating a non-descript history and transforming it through some grandiose self-delusions does wonders for self-perception and self esteem. I am happy to know not only my history, but Greek history enough to know falsehoods when they are foisted upon us.

With all greek love, thanks for your efforts at explaining. Proof positive as to why there is a problem.

I love ya Bruh, but why all the hate?
