Greek Marriages
Ladies, I have a question.
I have recently been to seveal functions where older brothers were with their wives. To my surprise, many of them had Zetas as wives (the one common denominator being that they were all from the Midwest). Where I am from, that was/is extremely rare. Almost any brother over 35 that I have met has been either married to a Delta or AKA (usually 60/40 or 70/30)
What do you usually see as Greek combinations?

Where I am it varies. Some of my Sorors are married to Omegas, Kappas or Alphas and my best friend (also a Soror) is married to a Sigma.

Ditto! Down here I know of 2 Sorors who are sisters and both are married to Sigmas.
It just depends on who you are match with romantically.
2 years ago, I saw my first Omega/Zeta plate and it looked odd, not bad, just odd since it was not what I was used to seeing.

In my family (on both sides), it's either Omega/Delta, Omega/AKA, Kappa/Delta or Kappa/AKA.
I know a lot of sorors and AKAs who are married to Omegas.
My LS just married a Sigma.

My cousin who is a Zeta is married to an Alpha!
Most older sorors I know in MD are married to Kappas but most younger sorors I know in the area are married to Omegas. Definitely a generational thing here.

My grandmother is a soror, and she married my grandfather, a Sigma.
I generally see Deltas and AKAs married to Omegas, Alphas, or Kappas, if it is a Greek union. I generally see Sigmas and Zetas married. But there is an older couple in my hometown who is a Zeta/Kappa union.

I am the only Greek in my family so there are no greek unions. As for Sorors I know who are married to other Greeks I have a linesister who is married to a Bruh, 9 Sorors in the Alumnae chapter I just left are married to Bruhs and one Bruh I am very close with is married to a SGRho. All in all I would have to say many of the Greek unions I am aware of are with Sorors and Bruhs.

From this thread, it seems like a lot of Delta/Sigma unions. My prophyte is married to a Sigma. As the saying goes, between every Delta is a Sigma.

Bob and Mollie..Deltas and Sigmas
Well the precedent was set back in the early days of our 2 respective orgs. Phi Beta's (Sigma's) have found themselves graced with the presence of Delta's since before either organization's were founded. Mary Church Terrell was wed to Robert Terrell in 1891. Both of these great people were integral in the early years of Delta Sigma Theta and Phi Beta Sigma. So it is no surprise that we find ourselves married to one another.
CT4- What about Bob? *smile*
My parents are a AKA/Sigma couple as are 3 other of my mother's LSs. SO I have seen that coupling all of my life.

That's nice and all, and I'm not knocking their union. But I just refuse to buy into the whole org based love thing.
I also look at folks funny when they specify what org their SO should be in, ideally or otherwise.

Soror you are definitely in my head with this one. I can't tell you how many times I've heard Greeks say I'm looking for a "FILL IN THE BLANK" man, or I only date "ABC's". They gonna mess around and miss their man/woman waiting for that Coleman Love or P&G connection or whatever else combination is out there
P.S
I ain't mad at the Coleman Love though

I hear you on people specifying what org you should marry. I was just making a historical reference. Who you marry is IMO directly related to who is in your circle. If you are from an area where you are surrounded by any one group of women you are more likely to marry a member of said group. It is statistics.

MY ace is married to a Sigma....newlywed, as a matter of fact. It was so funny...when he crossed, he called my sands, screaming that mess bout a Sigma between every Delta.
She hung up on him.

From what I've seen it varies. One of my sandz is engaged to an Alpha, however they met 3 years ago so their relationship began before she was a Delta.

I know that's right Soror! I wasn't going to miss my man...However, it is nice that we can decorate a room with Red and White together and have fun doing it.
