Meh... The ASTs are pretty close with the Zebes because most of them are dating or are like best friends with one another...

Just remember, lots of Alpha Gams date them too, like me! And our sweetheart is a Zebe! And their sweetheart is an Alpha Gam!

my big brothers

At my school the Sig Tau Gamma's are our (AST) big brothers. It's really cool because in both of our local historys our groups are really interwined with each other.

I'm not positive on our national rules, but I know my campus we couldn't even have a King of Diamonds (or Jack) anymore because of something silly--the same reasons other said they can't have a brother fraternity. I think its cool we don't have a brother frat...at times our chapter was definitely closer to some organizations, but at one point we had girls who were sweethearts for something like 6 out of 8 fraternities which really showed our diversity and how much we hung out with all the groups.

64 NIC Fraternities
26 NPC Sororities

I think that would be a good argument against the existence of national brother/sister organizations.

Cosign, only we called our guy our "Black Diamond Beau" or BDB. He was named at our "Black Diamond Ball", so I guess the name just came naturally.

Now, we were always especially close to three or four fraternities each year, but we never referred to them as brother fraternities.

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 Lambda Omega Christian Sorority, Inc/Gamma Phi Delta Christian Fraternity, Inc.

Alpha Lambda Omega Christian Sorority, Inc/Gamma Phi Delta Christian Fraternity, Inc.

These two are brothers and sisters. And they are worth checking out.

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.)
