Personally, I'm not too keen about Kappa being "encumbered" to any one sorority as a "sister" org. I like the more commonly accepted notion by brothers that "Kappa loves 'em all".

Besides, being a member of Alpha Phi Omega and having an unofficial sister sorority (Gamma Sigma Sigma--well technically 2 if you count Omega Phi Alpha), I know firsthand that the whole brother/sister org "relationship" can be easily taken advantage of by manipulative members of either org.

I feel exactly the same away about Sigma. I also have the same viewpoint of being independent. That's just moi. Different members have different views on Indiana Love, and the debate could go on forever and ever. Amen.

I've seen it a couple of times in regard to Sigma and Kappa.

She and I have our own greekchat thing going on via e-mail. What started off as PMs are now done via e-mail. LOL. Anyway, she shared some old history with me. I can't remember it all, so I'll have to check my e-mail. One thing I do remember is she said that one of our founders went to the same church as one of theirs. It was history that was passed down. KAP, I also was told that Nupes love all women and that we are not to have any sisters. The SGRhos at IU and the Nupes are very close and bond as brother and sister glos. I know that for a fact, because when I was in undergrad an SGRho was visiting from IU and she came up to me and called be her frat. I corrected her and told her I was not her frat. Then she told me how it was at IU. I was young then and really wasn't open to other oganizations like I am now, so I told her, well at DZ it's not like that here. She gave me a weird look.

I think there may have been more of a bond than we actually know about, that's why I was asking if anyone knew of any history books about these old historical bonds, because I don't know all the facts, if any at all. I can only go by what I've been told.

PrettyBoy keeps trippin' me out with his "DZ" references...because every time I see DZ, I think:
