To inform people about Brother Sister organization

Honestly, it is nothing offically, it just compares to the chapters the each organization has with a different organization. Out of all the soroities that have TKE on the campus it is Delta Zeta, not saying we are national brother and sister organization, but we just have a lot of chapter together on different campus. At Long beach, we actaully do hang out with Delta Zeta. They are one of my favorite houses and many guys in our house love them too. Also, we have a lot of people who love Delta Gamma. Tri Delta used to be big supports, but they don't get allowing with Delta Zeta and Delta Gamma

To echo 33Girl's earlier post: No NPC sorority has a national brother fraternity. Most if not all NPC sororities do not support their chapters adopting a local brother fraternity.

Locally, there was a time when university Greek Systems adopted auxilary groups within GLOS-- Big Brothers, Little Sisters, etc. We no longer do this.

Several of these traditions still take place on local campuses. They go unrecognized by NPC, campus Panhellenic and the chapters as official groups.

I have heard the rumor about ADPi and SAE. While we share some symbols in common, it is just a coincidence.

At UCF, we pair up with a fraternity each homecoming, and another for Greek Week. We call each other our "Homecoming Partners" or "Greek Week Buddies."

There used to be events like King of Diamonds, etc., but for the most part chapters don't hold these contests because ADPi doesn't wish to mistake that we are anything but a women's organization-- men don't represent our letters as auxilary members.

ADPi does have a signature philanthropy event that can be adapted to each chapter. It is called the Lion's Share Challenge and the chapters have the freedom to work within this event to make it unique to their campus as a sporting event, dance-off, fundraiser, etc.

The reasons for not having a big bro/lil sis have to do (again!) with insurance and maintaining status as single-sex organizations. I'd hate to open sorority recruitment up to a man... Imagine him at the new member sleepover. Pillowfight, anyone?

TO concer at the last MGCA a friend of mine attended ( the Midwest all greek conference) it was told that it violates NPC to officially have a brother/sister relationship between GLO's.

While on many campus's this is done based on campus history it can violate your ( I know it does our) GLO bylaws/ codes which may prohibit that.

Although the fact remains that there is only one pairing that is "officially" brother/sister (it has been mentioned many many times!) I know that some schools locally do adopt a kind of "brother" fraternity or "sister" sorority that they do a lot with.

We don't really have that here, although among the NPC sororities we adopt a "sister" sorority to do activities with. They change once every two years, and it seems like we do stuff together about once a month or so. It's just a fun little way to meet more greeks.

Alpha Gam doesn't have any offical brother fraternity. But at my school the gams hang out with the TKE's a lot too. I go to a small school so who hangs out with who is pretty clicky.

Lambda Phi Epsilon and alpha Kappa Delta Phi are brother/sister nationally, but at my school we do a lot with Pi Alpha Phi since we don't have a Lambda chapter. (Though sometimes we do stuff with the Lambda chapter at a nearby school.)
