The Greek society is something we do not honor and by no means want to be associated with. It's hard enough being Black in this society add the term "Black Greek" whew you got a situation on your hands.

"It is from these great and ancient sarced and secret societies that the modern African-lettered fraternities and sororities were founded. Like George GM James stated of Greek philosophy, the Greek letters used by Black fraternities and sororities is a misnomer. For though the letters used were Greek, the founders of these organizations understood well their African lineage and origins. Thus the letters masked an even deeper meaning rooted in Africa itself."
