Blue Family Cousins?

It is my understanding that the Brother who is a Founder of SLB was first a SIgma and did indeed get approval from Nationals to RETAIN his letters and at the same time begin an organization with would be specific to his people.

Any way you choose to look at it.. I think that this is leadership and integrity at work and it is commendable. However, as far as I am aware Sigmas and Zetas do NOT have cousins. Neither do we have neices, nephews, uncles, or aunts.

As a sister of sigma lambda gamma, i would like to say that to each his or her own. Our organization stands as an independent entity, and whether our relationship to another org exist or not, in the end, we have made a life long commitment to the organization that we pledged, whether it to be a sigma, zeta, gamma, or beta. unlike PBS and ZPB we are not constitutionally bound in any way, to SLB, but out of respect for mary peterson, we consider them our unofficial brothers....and the leadership ideals that are presented in ZPB and PBS, they may or may not be our "family"
Personally, it does not matter whether this relationship exist nation wide, etc. As a gamma, i did not become interested in this organization based on the coat tails of any other organization, but for the principles that SLG enforces.
As a member of a greek letter organization, i have respect for the life choices that others have made, but my own was made for a reason.

I love being a Zeta and I also love my brothers. I respect all orgs, but the only issue I have is that I have seen many frat grip Betas many times....now THAT irritates me. No matter who founded the org, they are seperate entities and should not be gripping each other, as Betas should not know the grip.......at least that is how I see it....what do you think the Founders would have to say about this????

From what I am told the grip that Sigmas use with the cuzzos is different from anything we actually use....i never learned it myself but im sure i could as i met several people from those latino orgs telling me they are my cousins. I'm proud of my frat brother for creating such a progressive and uplifting organization and if they want to honor their origins by supporting us and vice versa I for one am all for it.

LOL @ You for thinking they were doing the Sigma grip.
