Exactly. That is why you were just told what our history book stated.

The "Brother/Sister" bond between Alphas and AKA isn't nationally recognized although when our General President Darryl Matthews introduced The International President of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Barbara McKinzie at our centennial, he introduced her as Soror Barbara McKinzie. I was kind shocked he said that. Some acknowledge our history we have with each other and you will find some members refer to each other as frat and soror, but no it isn't nationally recognized.

I remember that! I don't think I remember him calling any of the other ladies Soror, although it would have been appropriate for him to do so in a panhellenic sense.

Can the AKAs and Alphas make it national? Also, why haven't they done so, since the history of their bond has been since the beginning. Also is Phi Beta Sigma and Zeta Phi Beta recognized nationally? Are the Ques and Deltas? Fellas, I know I'm asking a lot of questions, but I love history and would like to find out more.

LOL. That's what I don't understand though. They recognize each other, but nothing national.

I have noticed something with both orgs in regards to some early chapters...where you find a chapter of Alpha e.g. single letter chapters, you will most likely find that a AKA chapter was chartered not to far behind that. Don't know if it is just a coincidence.

To those who are wondering, it merely states that we received communication from AKA asking for assistance in identifying campuses which would be suitable for new AKA chapters. Several brothers helped. It does not say which brothers or which campuses or if we were actually helpful at all.

Yeah I was at the table with my chapter brothers and some bros some Tau chapter trying to snap pics of the cheesecake with the Sphinx on top when he introduced her.

More than likely because if it wasn't done in the early stages of both orgs no one would bother to do it now, and again everyone may not acknowledge a bond.

I'm here - LOL. Yes one couple married and divorced (the Colemans.) The other couple did not marry.
Although the extent of the Omegas help in our founding has been greatly exaggerated, what they did do was offer advice as to how to get HU to accept the sorority. They based it on their own experiences in trying to get founded.
And the choice of the purple violet as our official flower was PARTLY in recognition of the Omegas help. However, we have never had a constitutional (official) bond as sisters and brothers the way that the Sigmas and Zetas do.
And as already mentioned, it appears that early on there were more founders, national presidents, etc. that married Alphas than Omegas.
ETA: Although I love the Omegas, I will correct any that call me soror. That is strictly reserved for initiates of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.
