Well this all leads me to ask, WHAT ORG'S HAVE THE RIGHT TO ROCK CANES?? Without bias, Nupes are synonmouse with canes and definately made it popular.

Actually Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. became the first to incorporate a cane into the step routines. That why Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc. have the right to rock the canes. (thought I point that out)

Such and old thread, yes... but I was thinking blind people rocked canes first. Or shepherds tending their flocks of sheep.

Moses turned his cane into a snake and it ate the two other dudes' canes. Moses pnwed the cane.

I just wanted to point it out, it might be 4 yrs old, but it still needed to stated.

And yes, Blind People, Sheperds etc used canes, but when it comes to Greekdom, Kappas & Sigmas are the originators, now I don't know about SGRho's but I won't touch that topic.

It didn't NEED to be stated because, well, it's already been discussed.

A cane can be handy for beating the dust out of this topic.

Or, in this case, a dead horse.

I had considered that metaphor but I figure the argument isn't dead yet as there is no clear winner. lol

I know we're beating a dead horse here but I just had to throw in my 22 cents.

How SGRho's came to use canes isn't rocket science. There are members/chapters of SGRho that don't step with or twirl canes at all and have no desire to learn for that matter and there are chapters that hold this as a dear tradition that is passed down from line to line. 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.
