I think polite got thrown out the window when Kevin said he hated homeless people in the other thread.

The cover story of the latest issue of our magazine "The Quill" was devoted to the Alpha Xi Delta - Sigma Nu connection...
you can read it here

OMG! one of the girls in the article is an Alpha Xi at FIU (my school!) how cute! And we don't even have Sigma Nu here but they still managed to meet! Adorable!

I doubt one will find "Proud to be a Macon Magnolia!" on either the Alpha Delta Pi's or Phi Mu's websites. But (most) everyone within those organizations - and many outside - know, understand and acknowledge the historical bond between these two sororities. Heck, many Greek Chat members who are members of these two fine sororities have that acknowledgement ("Proud to be a Macon Magnolia!") as part of their signature. They aren't saying they are "sister sororities" in any official way per say, but acknowledging and celebrating their historical bond. And the same may be said for the Farmville Four, the Jefferson Duo, the Lexington Triad, the Miami Triad, the Monmouth Duo, the Syracuse Triad, and the Union Triad. As well as those fraternities and sororities that have helped other organizations in one way or the other over the years. That historical bond should be celebrated as well.
ETA: Such a nice sentiment to hold and pass on down the years. From the cover story in "The Quill".
"The next time you [Alpha Xi Delta member] talk with a Sigma Nu friend or meet a brother for the first time, tell him how grateful you are that his brothers at Lombard extended a helping hand to our founding sisters. He’ll be happy to know that he and every member of Sigma Nu will always hold a special place in our Fraternity’s history and our hearts."
Side note: Do Alpha Epsilon Phi and Alpha Omicron Pi refer to themselves as the Barnard Duo? Or maybe the Barnard Babes?

I don't think anyone has a problem with historical bonds.
What IS a problem is when people try to portray it as something that influences fraternity/sorority relations today. Someone who is interested in pledging should never have to worry that if she joins ABC she'll HAVE to hang out with and date XYZs because XYZ is their "brother fraternity." I'm sure there are schools where the AXiDs and Sigma Nus can't stand each other.
It can be annoying and limiting to feel "tied" to the same fraternity or sorority, for whatever reason. Like Phyllis said, all the NPC groups discourage it (or should).

Is someone in this thread portraying any such thing?
Or is that just a generalized statement?

I believe that's what the OP was asking about.

The OP looks like a translation from babelfish.

I'm partial to Barnard Babes myself but I've never heard of a nickname like the others you mentioned. Although, I wouldn't rule out something in use.

I missed that. Surely there's more to this story, right?

where i got that quote from was not written by a chapter, it was written by Fraternity Headquarters and sent to the chapters. it never said that Sigma Nu is our brother fraternity but more like we like to think of them like that.
