Brother/Sister Frats/Sororities

[ILLINIgirl]

At my school, we don't have offical brother/sister fraternities/sororities but I know that our DG's are pretty tight with our Pikes.

That's lovely. But Mellon and PNC have offices on the same street, right next to each other in downtown Pittsburgh. That doesn't make them brother/sister banks. That is what the "no" referred to.

Once again:

We've said it before, we'll say it again:

No NPC sorority has a national brother fraternity. Most if not all NPC sororities do not support their chapters adopting a local brother fraternity.

The only constitutionally bound brother/sister orgs FROM THE ENTIRE NIC, NPC, and NPHC are Zeta Phi Beta Sorority and Phi Beta Sigma.

hey hey, relax, i was just stating they they were on the same street, not that they were a national brother/sister fraternity....relaxxxxxx!!!!

My chapter doesnt have a chapter like that, we were cool with Chi-O for a while, went onto DZ, then Sigma Kappa...it depends on the situation....I love DZ's and SK's though, those are my girls!

However Pike1483 DID say they were national brother & sister. That was directed towards him - you seemed to be supporting what he was saying.

Didn't mean to be bitchy, it's just that I don't like when Greeks don't know their own policies.

I do know my own national policies, Pi Kappa Alpha nationals does not allow us to have big or lil sis's, we do not have a national sister sorority...I know my policies, so relax

from my understanding Pi beta phi's bro frat is Beta theta pi, since we were the first national sorority we were modeled after beta, alot of our things we represent are similar. I think this is why ppl say we are bro/sis fraternatys. Its like that at my school.. and betas r good guys so were proud to call them our bro frat

Hi, piphiarrow234, it's great that your chapter gets along well with the Betas at your university, but . . .

oh im not saying we are "officially' bro/sis and all that stuff, its just like we hang out with them alot and stuff i didnt mean to make it out like its anything official, just alot of sisters date them and we are good friends with them

We dont need men for our sorority but for our bedrooms that is a diff story LOL..........actually we are good girls...... all of us have serious boyfriends, engaged, married, or virgins....... weird huh...

Though we DO NOT have an official brother fraternity (the only recognized bro/sis connection that I know of is ZPhiB/PBS), our chapter is very close to Delta Chi. We do alot with them since they live next door. Alot of my sisters are lavaliered to them. Some of them even have "big/lil bros" in the chapter.

[piphimaggie]

PiPhi at my school was associated with Phi Delt.

...however the Phi Delt chapter at my school was shut down this spring so there will be none of that....at least for 5-6yrs

*sigh*

A lot of the sorority chapters at my school were previously "little sister" groups to the different fraternities before they were colonized as part of a national organization.

Sometimes that shows a little bit with inter-greek relations. Some of the chapters keep close to their former "big brothers" and some of them don't.

As for AGD, it was colonized on campus (the first women's fraternity here) as a completely independent organization, so we don't have ties with any one of the five fraternities on campus that go beyond "well I'm dating so-and-so" or "well I'm the sweetheart of XYZ fraternity."

We pick who we do mixers with, we pick who we do greek week and homecoming with, and so on without worrying about hurting our "big bro's" feelings. We're closer with some than others just because those are who our friends are.

Personally, I have really close guy friends in both ZBT and PiKA, and I have a "pseudo big" in PiKA but that's not official through AGD or anything, he's just unhappy with his tree right now so I told him I would be his little haha.

to the Zetas:
i am absolutely sure my soror meant no offense to you when she claimed to be your "cousin," but to be honest, that is how the ladies of SLG are educated, to look up to the organizations whose ideals and principals inspired and motivated our founders. the connection she was reffering to is that one of the founders of Sigma Lambda Beta was a Sigma, and SLG was founded and molded using the ideas, history, manuals, etc. of SLB. Sharing a headquarters with SLB, and with both groups having a joint member who now serves as the executive director, we (Gammas) do call the Betas our brothers, but also acknowledge that there is NO official recognition on the part of ANY of the involved GLOs. We as Gammas have deep love and respect for Sigma Lambda Beta, Zeta Phi Beta, and Phi Beta Sigma. On some campuses, including my own, the Zetas and Sigmas DO claim the Gammas and Betas as family. Again, I hope my soror didn't offend you. Much Love & Respect to all the Greek Fam.

We are officially the sisters of Pi Beta Sigma

Tau Delta/Pi Beta Sigma
Sigma Alpha Tau (Owls)/ Zeta Phi
Theta Nu/ Lambda Gamma Epsilon (Kings)
Kappa Phi Omega/ Sigma Delta Phi (Sphinx)
Tau Epsilon Mu/ Pi Kappa Phi (Country Club) *not the national*
Epsilon Kappa Tau/ Eta Phi Mu (Jonda)

At WVU, when I pledged a few years ago I was told that Pi Phi was our sister sorority. Lately it seems that we have had a falling out and don't do too much anymore.

Talking to both Beta's and Pi Phi's nationally, I always got the impression that they are usually brother/sister fraternites.
