BGLO Brother/Sister History

Well since we were on the topic of bonds, on some campuses you will find different BGLOs claiming a bond not normally heard like Alpha Kappa Alpha/Kappa Alpha Psi or Delta Sigma Theta/Alpha Phi Alpha. I stated the whole marriage thing to explain where some of these so called bonds come from. Any brother that has to throw "well Alphas married Delta founders so what about your Coleman love now" is trying way too hard. Trust that we are good just the way we are.

Yes, the Zeta/Sigma bond is recognized nationally for both orgs.

From what I was told by my cousin who is a Sigma, and a good friend of mine who is a Zeta, Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta are the only "Constitutionally Bound" NPHC Organizations. Of course, I've never heard an AKA or an Alpha deny the bond between their two organizations, but I have heard a Delta let someone know that the Que's were NOT her bruhs... And I've definitely heard discrepancy from every angle as far as KAPsi and Sigma Gamma Rho are concerned...

That shows how much I follow these varying bonds on some college campuses. I thought some Deltas bonded with Apes because of something like "fire and ice"--whatever that really means. Just like many Deltas think sharing colors and hair care products means they have to bond with Krappas.

Whatever floats folks' boats.

There are tons of Deltas who will say that. The good news is, despite what bond enthusiasts say, it doesn't make them any less Delta.

First bolded: Yeah, I always though that was a pretty thin "connection" -- but nobody thinks to ever connect the Pyramid and Sphinx aesthetic.

Second bolded: ihatechu. LOL

I think I may've seen a Pyramid and Sphinx connection. Maybe that only happens on campuses where the Deltas and Alphas have extremely high GPAs.

The best bonds happen at Sally's Beauty Supply. Don't hate!

Yeah that is a common one. Folks nowadays will create a unofficial bond over anything.

In case I've never told you, I really hate you.

Although the extent of the Omegas help in our founding has been greatly exaggerated, what they did do was offer advice as to how to get HU to accept the sorority. They based it on their own experiences in trying to get founded.

And the choice of the purple violet as our official flower was PARTLY in recognition of the Omegas help. However, we have never had a constitutional (official) bond as sisters and brothers the way that the Sigmas and Zetas do.

And as already mentioned, it appears that early on there were more founders, national presidents, etc. that married Alphas than Omegas.

ETA: Although I love the Omegas, I will correct any that call me soror. That is strictly reserved for initiates of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.

Thanks for that LG. I didn't know that. LOL at you correcting the Ques when they call you soror.

Personally, I'm not too keen about Kappa being "encumbered" to any one sorority as a "sister" org. I like the more commonly accepted notion by brothers that "Kappa loves 'em all".

She and I have our own greekchat thing going on via e-mail. What started off as PMs are now done via e-mail. LOL. Anyway, she shared some old history with me. I can't remember it all, so I'll have to check my e-mail. One thing I do remember is she said that one of our founders went to the same church as one of theirs. It was history that was passed down. KAP, I also was told that Nupes love all women and that we are not to have any sisters. The SGRhos at IU and the Nupes are very close and bond as brother and sister glos. I know that for a fact, because when I was in undergrad an SGRho was visiting from IU and she came up to me and called be her frat. I corrected her and told her I was not her frat. Then she told me how it was at IU. I was young then and really wasn't open to other oganizations like I am now, so I told her, well at DZ it's not like that here. She gave me a weird look.

I think there may have been more of a bond than we actually know about, that's why I was asking if anyone knew of any history books about these old historical bonds, because I don't know all the facts, if any at all. I can only go by what I've been told.

Interesting read..

On my campus, we are close with Sigma Lambda Upsilon, but that has more to do with chapter history than anything.

I had no idea who they are so I looked it up.

On a funny and unrelated note, some chapters will "bond" with whatever group they think is attractive or that the members are hooking up with. That's a rather flighty bond that is the recipe for drama.
