No where in any recording has there ever been any implication that Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha were father/mother organizations. Maybe the first born child, but never the originator of black Greek letter organizations. The Masons and Eastern Stars on our campus are furious, because father/mother has always been a title we as the D9 gave to them. What I want to know is:
1. Are these bogus claims common?
2. Do they hold any weight, or as they might say in the south "any water"?

1. I'll reserve comment on that for risk of opening a Pandora's box.
2. Heck, naw. That statement reeks of arrogance and ignorance and should be taken with a grain of salt while K.I.M.
