Being both a Prince Hall Mason and a Kappa I have seen it from both sides and there is a general misunderstanding between Masonry and BGLO's in general. I happen to belong to a lodge that has a big number of greeks mostly Kappas thank GOD .
Both have great principals that kinda overlap but there is still a divide. I have ran into Kappas that question me for being a Mason and Masons that question me for being a Kappa. I love both just in different ways.
I don't think Masons are intimadated by greeks just more of a feeling of respect your roots. Masonry is the oldest Fraternal Order and although college is not a requirement a large number of college educated men are masons and they know which founders of all four (opp's five) Greek Frats were Masons. I know that at least the Alpha's, Kappa's, Que's, and Sigma's had at least one founder that was a Mason. So the feeling is more respect your heritage.
