What!?
Let me start by saying, I mean no disrespect to other organization. But here is my point of view.
I understand where True Zeta is coming from.
Zeta and Sigmas work hard at the bond we share. The brother/sister thing is something we don't/or shouldn't take lightly. It's not something we claim or decide, it what we are and what we live and share.
So when other organization "claim" each other as brother and sister, it's somewhat offensive to how hard we work as Zeta Phi Beta Sigma. Maybe other soror's can't relate to this experience, but it's so real to me.
To have mutual respect for each other is one thing. But to actually call each other Frat or Soror?
That is hard for me to understand or respect.
Especially when it is not a part of the constitution. Part of being a "Frat or Soror" is dedication. But when the dedication varies from campus to campus...? Why would you use the terms so loosely?
Where I'm from, Zetas and Sigmas pledge online together. Our goals and objectives , not just our colors, are the same nationally and locally.
I have much respect for other frats. We work with them too and we love them too.
But my brothers are the men of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc.
We call each other frat and soror no matter what campus you go to.
Please don't be offended, just understand where I am coming from.
It's irrelevant to us as Zeta Phi Beta Sigma,
but I can't respect it as a member of the NPHC.
With the sweetest Zeta love,
DivineZeta
