Who should be allowed to have CANES, aside from NUPES??

How SGRho's came to use canes isn't rocket science.

And no this did not start in the 90's. Who said that? Today, a soror can easily find another soror to teach them cane steps (and by the way, some are unique to us) and how to twirl but on those campuses where SGRho and Kappa were/are cool and even considered themselves to have a sister/brother relationship (don't know when this started but was definitely prior to the 90's and yes this did and does exist on some campuses...get over it!), Kappas did indeed teach SGRho's how to twirl. I have witnessed such lessons myself and the Kappas who do the teaching are usually proud and even flattered to see sorors handling their canes so well (not me though, I can't stand Kappas ). Some of my sorors handle them a little too well (just check youtube LOL). Anyway, today of course sorors are teaching sorors regardless of a Kappa/SGRho relationship or lack thereof, so in this way their tradition became our tradition among those members and chapters that embrace it. My undergrad chapter only used staffs when stepping (Spr. '93 in da house!); we never had a desire to use canes and to this day, we are still a non-cane stepping/carrying/twirling chapter.

Thank you RhoyalTempest. I appreciated that.

I do own a couple canes though and probably could twirl them if it wasn't for my carpal tunnel. I used to twirl a baton when I was younger.

Actually on some campuses the relationship is quite tight (whether I like it or not ) and please don't compare my org to an auxiliary. The dynamics between two organizations on the same professional level (who aren't officially connected) vs. one that "guides/leads" and is the reason for the other will always be at times challenging.

Yes, because your sweethearts are sweethearts. Their organizational value is that you all recognize them nationally and haven't abandoned them as other frats abandoned theirs. With that context in mind, of course your sweethearts are tight with you nationally. When we talk about bonds, we are talking about sororities and fraternities and (regardless of the history, etc.) it is more about unconstitutional as compared to constitutional bonds. It's also worth noting that constitutional bond doesn't mean that all of the members like each other and hang together on every campus and in every city.

And I would say I also don't like Krappas. There are some things about the fraternal entity and the men that I have met over the years that have always annoyed me. My friend (who is a member) and I rarely discuss Greekdom despite the fact that he and I are both very active at the alumnae/alumni level. That keeps my Krappa jokes to a minimum so we don't have to fight.

This was a very interesting read. rhoyaltempest, I'm with you about the SGRho/Kappa relationship thing. When I was in undergrad, we didn't have a close relationship with the SGRhos. We actually did more things with the Deltas than we did with any other sorority. Funny thing is we actually did more with them than the Ques did with them. I remember I met an SGRho from IU, who was visiting, and she came up to me, hugged me, and called me her brother. She was confused because she thought we had the same relationship at CSU as they did at IU. It just depends on which school. LOL @ your dislike of Kappas. Just curious...why?

Phi,

Me and my LBs have watched the Nupe twirling video (brother in the green sweater) hundreds of times. I mean, that dude is amazing to say the least. Which further proves my point, what other organization have you seen that nice with a kane?

Much Respekt.
