Another venue where men can assert their dominance as men over women, perceived or actual, under the guise of the bonds of brother/sisterhood? You betcha.
Cross-pledging is not something I'm a fan of (how a fraternity can add to my becoming a member of a sorority, unknown), but I can see how it would regular practice amongst brother-sister orgs:
- Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta (constitutionally)
- Omega Psi Phi/Delta Sigma Theta, Alpha Phi Alpha/AKA, KAPsi/SGRho, unofficially (and somewhat regional/local)
And to dig into the NALFO/NMCG side... (Don't know if there are any Asian interest orgs with such relationship)
- Sigma Lambda Gamma/Sigma Lambda Beta
- Lambda Theta Phi/Lambda Theta Alpha
- Mu Sigma Upsilon/Lambda Sigma Upsilon (I think they're connected - same colors/similar letters/founded at same university around the same time)
I don't recall any NPC/IFC with nationally/historically recognized bonds, but I also don't know their histories. I vaguely recall a sorority being founded on being little sisters to Alpha Phi Delta.
