As an Eastern Star and AKA I can totally agree that Eastern Stars call each other 'sisters' and AKAs say 'sorors.' Now I have heard the term 'distant sand' in which two different greek organizations cross around the same time or in the same year. Has anyone else heard that?

Please review your official documents. Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. official stance on such terms have been changed. On GC we are unable to discuss the reasons.

*waving* Hi my SiStar!!!

I have heard Greeks that crossed (late 1980s and 1990s) the same semester call each other Pseudo (as in pseudo sand). BUT, as AKA_Monet stated, the D9's stance on such terms and activities has changed. That's just what I heard back in the day.
