Let me just say....
Being a member of a service GLO longer than I have a NPHC this is something of an irritant to me. I find that most of the anger or ill feeling comes from a general lack of knowledge. Many of us (OPA) choose to use those terms because they most accurately state the feeling of the process we just underwent. To this day me and my omega phi alpha pledgemates(or whatever pc term you want to use) call each other line sister. It accurately describes the bond we feel with each other. We don't do it out of disrespect or anything....its just what it is. Unfortunately we aren't allowed the benefit of publicly displaying our pride in our organization, bond with each other without getting looks of contempt from uninformed D9 members.
And now that I'm a D9 member....I still call my Omega Phi Alpha sisters soror, line sister, etc(sands has never been applicable). I have jackets and para for both organizations that I display proudly. And yes there are some things that are unique to Sigma Gamma Rho that I will not duplicate for Omega Phi Alpha just because its all greek. I don't agree with that
