Brother/Sister Frats/Sororities

[parisviolet]

When I pledged I got a big bro and it has been great it enables you I feel to meet alot of new people in the Greek community. When we take a lil sis we go around to the local frats and ask one of the guys to be her big bro. We usually ask which frat they would like one from. They usually love to take littles so everyone has one. They are there to listen and watch out for their little sis. I was asked myself to take a little brother. so I wsatch out for him and usually if he needs to talk i'm there for him. So my greek family is big and we all hang out together. It has made my greek life far more fun. But like it has been stated on other posts our nationals don't like this and when they come to visit the my campus where i attend school we don't wear our brother letters or anything with our sis number on it either. We do this only as a local thing and not national.

[B]at penn state, SAE's are pi phi's brother fraternity. they do a lot together, THON, Parent's Weekend, Formal Bid, and even Homecoming this year.[B]

Not that it matters, but SAE are no longer recognized by PSU's greek life.

We've been told that SAE's our brother fraternity, we have the same flower (violet) and our mascots are the lion. Although we dont do anything with them along the lines of big brothers etc, we still have mixers with them every year.

are you guys talking about brother/sister like consitutionally bound? or just really cool with each other? phi beta sigma and z-phi-b are constitutionaly bound. they're the only ones i know of.

Theta Chi and Sigma Kappa are suposedly tight nationaly. I don't know though. We've never had a mixer with them. Mostly cuz we don't have a house. A few of them said they wanted to though.

I know that it is against our national policy to have a big brother fraternity. That is the first that we are close with Theta Chi's nationally.

I know that we mostly hang out with the Pi Kaps but we aren't allowed to have it be official and have a big brother or any of that as it is national policy.

I think we used to host leadership councils together. Not sure if that still happens though.

Here the Pi Phi's and Delta Sigs are brother/sister. Also many of the AXiDs date Pi Kapps

Being you did not email me back or holla, I am not sure if you got it, email, but to make sure this time, I'll briefly type here what I typed to you.....becuase DU is not on our campus so that makes you want to kick it with us, Phi Taus, girl kick it with the Pi Kapps, cuz we don't need you, not saying it about all the Alpha Phi's, just you!

FarmHouse Fraternity founded Ceres, but the Ceres chapter here is even newer than we are, and only has like 15 members, now.

Okay. . . . . When I was a new member, I was told that none of the NPC were not allowed to have a "brother" fraternity. Of course most of all of us have some frat that help us get est. or wrote a part of our ritual, ect. On my campus, we don't have "brother/sister" GLO. There is ones we are close with but nothing official. Also I was told that alot of the frats can't have "sweethearts" anymore either by IFC... but only 2 on my campus still do. :0) Who knows! We are ALL greek, no matter the letter!

FYI: Guy Potter Benton- Phi Delta Theta is the ONLY man allowed to wear our badge. He helped our founders write our ritual!

Edited to add modifications:

TKE is now normally with either LOY or with DQ. Alpha Sigma Phi is seen most w/CWA. AXN is always w/ZQC.

I had heard the same thing at my school. Sadly the chapter of SAE closed Spring of 2001.

Hmm..our TKE's are close with Delta Theta (who seem very similar to DZ, at least in colors, mascot and etc *shrugs*) and Alpha Sigma Phi are tight w/the Chi Omega Alpha (formally Chi Omega)

i think XO and XOA are two different organizations.

We don't really have a "brother" fraternity, but we're kinda close with the Phi Delta Thetas because, as all DZs know, a Phi Delt helped our founders get started.
