Coleman Love vs. P & G Connection

[Pretty Kitty]

Hello everyone,

I am a proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. So I know directly about having bonds. I cannot speak for any other type of 'bond', but the bond I have with my frat brothers is strong and true. Still, it annoys me to see people trivialize bonds to the level of who is dating who, who married who, whose colors are what, whose mascots match, etc. Can I get the gag bag next!!!

I hate when women think they own fraternity men because of these so called bonds!!! I wish people would listen to themselves.
Make believe bonds are my issue. I have even seen Gamma Rhos and members of Phi Beta Sigma throw events together under the "Sigma Bond." Hey events and co-sponsorship is their issue, but a "Sigma" Bond!!! GAAAG!!!BARFF!! Usually, when explored, these types of bonds do not truely go beyond the bed room!!!
Men are still men!!
So I still love my blue phi!!!

Can I get some crackers too! I got into a heated argument with a member of Sigma Gamma Rho about their last org love or Golden Love affair. They have been trying to find some bruhs for years and the Iotas are so desperate for acceptance...they just jumped on the band wagon. I can deeply understand you sickness when you see P&G love..I would like WTF? I always saw the Ques and Deltas together because of the Coleman love thing ..not because os your colors...Golden Love Affair..yuk? Or which state you were founded in...Indiana Luv..I dated a Kappa who thought the whole Indiana Love thing was a joke..he said they dont even associate with them..Pass the barf bag!!!

Wassup Coleman Fam!
I just want to start off saying that none of us "own" a brother organization. We don't own da bruhs. I say this because (not on this thread) when I go to some schools, the Deltas are fighting other Deltas, AKAs, GDIs, even Que Pearls, for da bruhs. We don't need to fight for their attention or their respect. If other orgs. want to get close to da bruhs...ooookay...if da bruhs let them...ooookay. If they REALLY know about Edna and Frank...they recognize where the real love is
I agree that bruhs usually end up with the AKAs. As I hear da bruhs say alllllll the time: you date the Delta, you marry the AKA. That's cool. I've heard bruhs even joke that Frank got tired of the dirty reds, that's why he divorced Edna. That's cool, too.
Just know that Coleman Love is only as strong as the Sorors and bruhs that acknowledge it.

OOO-OOOP Sorors!
Coleman Love, bruhs!

That's funny Deuce (dis here is Phasad)...I have always heard the Bruhs say that you date the aka and marry the soror....hmmm. Once again, varys according to where ye be.

Ditto, Soror! The Bruhs I know (from Mississippi to DC to Ohio to Pittsburgh) all share that philosophy. I do know a couple who've married AKAs, but even they admit that they always thought they'd be with a Soror.

It would be my dream to marry a Bruh for all that they epitomize, but I know that true love is blind to superficial things like greek affiliation. I'll marry the man who is sent to me by the Father. Of course, on my "wishlist" I'll ask that he be an Omega Man! (It doesn't hurt to ask, right?)

And I'm Out!

See, you need to quit switching up on a soror. Hey, hit me on my hotmail when you get a chance, haven't heard from you in a minute (it should be in my profile).

I hear that too, soror! We know it can depend on district and/or specific chapters' relationships with the sorors.
Regardless of who da bruhs marry, their ideal mate is a Delta

Very well said.

I understand that everyone's chock full o' I'm-so disgusted-I-have-to-puke- jokes but there's no need to get all worked up over this. Don't worry be happy.

I don't think we're worked up. We're just having some good ol' fashioned fun with the historical Delta/AKA rivalry and the Que/Delta bond.

Personally, I honestly don't give 2 sh*ts and a rat's a$$ if the Ques and AKAs at XYZ University have a tight bond, or if the Bruhs are more likely to marry an AKA than Soror; none of it really has anything to do with me or to any of us, for that matter. I think that most of us are just BS'n for laughs and to show our Bruhs how we feel about them and OUR Bond.

"My Bad" to anyone who may have taken offense to our jokes and use of puke/surprise smilies. It wasn't that serious.

And I'm Out.

411, I'm just trying to keep the situation light. I didn't want it to seem like there's some kind of hostility or rival between the two organizations. Sometimes it may appear as so. It's all good though. As long as no one is taking things to heart.
BTW, I attended Epsilon chapter's (Omega Psi Phi)picnic last week and Coleman Love was as strong as I've ever seen it!

Greetings All,

Speaking as a member of Alpha Chapter, the term "P&G Love" is in use and is not limited to chapters in NY, and I personally feel that there is nothing wrong with it. In response to a statement made earlier:

"Our bonds need to remain simple and reflective of our history. Making up all this new stuff just complicates things and dillutes our real history. Its bad enough we have to argue and fuss over who our REAL bruhs are and why we have the bond that we do, we don't need all this extra stuff"

I am in total disagreement. We live in an increasingly more complicated world. We are all working towards the same goal of bettering the black community and the world as a whole. Limiting the acceptance and tolerance of these possible "connections" and partnerships, limits our collective ability to respond to the changing needs of society. All of our organizations are beautiful and distinct in their own way and none of this can be diminished by looking for commonalities amongst us, no matter how trivial they may seem.

All of our organizations have commonalities...some based on where we were founded, principles, goals, etc. If mere commonalities constitute a "bond," we need to go on head and remember that all of our organizatins share a bond. Although I'm Delta-centric (everything revolves around DST ), we're all black community-centric...that's our focus.
In relation to this specific discussion, I think some of us are stressing the difference b/w a connection, commonalities, and a bond. Connections and commonalities do not (always) constitute a bond.

[Hidden Agenda]

While were on the topic, The Ladies of Alpha Chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. and the Brothers of Alpha Chapter, Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Inc. present "a P&G affair" at the Marriot Marriot Courtyard (900 F Street NW- Washington, DC) on Thursday, October 11. HU Homecoming 2001-- be there!

[AKAtude]

I never heard of the "P&G Connection" until some Omegas approached my sorors and me in a greek shop one day. We were like WTF are they talking about? He said that was something we should know about. Well, it isn't in our history, so I guess not.
