Never said I had problem with SGRho. If that's what you gathered then that's a personal issue that you need to resolve with the school system you were in attendance with. Poor baby.

Your continued rant indicates otherwise........

In my opinion, although the other organizations don't have a constitutional bond, the bonds go deeper than just stereotypes or mere founding.

For example, I think Alpha & AKA, Que & Delta bonds are uniquely woven into Howard Universitys history. I think their historical relationships made the bonds strong between these four organizations, and thus inspired other groups to follow suit and form implicit bonds. What happened at Howard in the early 1900s, and the way these four organizations interacted at Howard in the 1900's has kinda shaped their bonds throughout the history of the organizations. The fact that founders of the organizations were affiliating dating/married members of the other organization. The influences each had on the other, etc. Then the rivalries that began to form that further pushed the affiliations and bonds that we talk about today.

On my campus we always considered ourselves to be brothers to the AKA's. It wasn't just b/c the two organizations were founded first, but b/c of the familial relationships, ties, and historical bonds. Most important were the historical bonds. As a matter of fact, I believe that it is the Alpha & AKA, Que & Delta bonds that inspired the Sigmas and Zetas to write into their constitutions their bonds for eachother. Especially since, back in the day, the bonds were even stronger, and inevitably implied.

Many people agree with this, including me.

Alpha & AKA, Delta & Omega bond, about more than just stereotypes and colors:

What is the true relationship between Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority other than the fact that they were the first? Is it mere coincidence or divine intervention. Journey back to the campus of Howard University in the fall of 1907, when Cornell University student and Alpha initiate Eugene Kinckle Jones arrived on the campus of Howard University to establish the second chapter of the very young fraternity known as Alpha Phi Alpha at the request of the mother chapter Alpha. Contacts had been made and preliminary work had already been done through the assistance of the school's dean, Kelly Miller, who assisted Jones in selecting the nineteen young men who subsequently became charter members of the chapter known as Beta. Included in that sixteen was George A. Lyle, a native of St. Louis, Missouri and a junior. Lyle's girlfriend Ethel Hedgeman was also a native of St. Louis. They both had graduated from Sumner High School in 1904, where they were sweethearts even then. Upon arrival at Howard in the fall of 1905, both Lyle and Hedgeman were very active on the campus and was one of the more popular couples.

George and these eighteen other men were initiated into the fraternity in Dec. 20 1907 certainly much to the delight of Ethel. This solidified her move to forge ahead with the sorority idea. The obvious fact is that Hedgeman was keenly aware of George's participation in the new fraternity. AKA Founder Margaret Flagg said" Because of Lyle and his connection with Alpha Phi Alpha, Ethel conceived the idea of the sorority." Not only was she aware of this new movement in brotherhood and sisterhood, she was inspired. According to the Marjorie Parker in the book "In the Eye of the Beholder," Hedgeman had returned to Howard inspired to organize a sorority. With her insight and vision Hedgeman approached her friend Lucy Slowe with the idea of establishing a similar group for women. Hedgeman and her nine friends engaged in research of the sorority idea, ascertained interest from other female students in the Liberal Arts College and submitted a proposal and constitution the Howard University Board of Trustees for the privilege to establish a sorority, the first in the school's history. They met on January 15, 1908, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority was born. The establishment had also come with tremendous support from two teachers at Howard, namely Ethel Robinson and Elizabeth Cook. In the meantime, George and his new brothers experienced the growing pains of laying the foundation for the chapter and fostering the fraternity's idea. Ironically, the fall of the 1908 found both Ethel and George as presidents of the chapters during their Senior year. George hosted Alpha's first convention on the campus of Howard in December of 1908 and a social was held with the ladies of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority.


More History:
The founding of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated begins, curiously, through another sorority, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. In 1912, societal changes were beginning to make their way to the Howard University campus, and 22 undergraduate members of Alpha Kappa Alpha were not immune. African Americans were demanding laws that protected their civil rights, while women were demanding the vote. Great thinkers like Alan Locke, W.E.B Du Bois and others, were bringing a new focus to African America, and the 22 undergraduate members of Alpha Kappa Alpha wanted to become a part of it.


The seriousness and excitement of the period made the Howard AKA undergraduates reflect on their organization. They desired to make AKA into an organization which had a national perspective and which focused on the issues of the day. Furthermore, the AKA undergraduates felt that Alpha Kappa Alpha had not done everything necessary to officially become a sorority rather than to remain just a club. Alpha Kappa Alpha was not incorporated, was not a legal entity, and had not been granted the right to establish chapters at any other campus other than Howard University. Last, some of the undergrads felt that Alpha Kappa Alpha was too closely linked and identified with Alpha Phi Alpha, and that a new name and symbols would reflect a new identity.

Of the twenty-two women who organized the sorority (Delta Sigma Theta), two dated two of the founders of the newly formed Omega Psi Phi. Delta Founder Edith Young dated Edgar Love and Frank Coleman dated and ultimately married Edna Brown. Programs and events were held together by these two organizations, and affiliation between these two orginizations was visible and inevitable on Howard's campus.

In addition, Grace Coleman, sister of Omega founder Frank Coleman, was elected Delta's first president in 1914 at Howard University. Grace also was one of the first initiates of the sorority

I thought this was an interesting piece I ran across on a Sigma Website: LOL at this b/c we all know it didn't exactly happen this way, but it was pretty creative.


Divine Nine:
The Creation of The Divine 9 (Through the eyes of the gods)
One day, the Greek gods Brotherhood and Sisterhood realized that they were lonely in the world. They had given birth to various children, but all seemed to forsake their parents. So they decided to join together and create a new breed to fraternal children.

Brotherhood was given the opportunity to create the first child. He decided to take something from the two hemispheres of the world. So he gathered some "old gold" from the sun and black from the night in Egypt. There he created his first born, Alpha Phi Alpha. He granted his son wisdom as a gift of love.

Seeing the child that Brotherhood had created, Sisterhood realized that APHIA should not be alone in the world. Sisterhood roamed the world, looking for entities that she could create her first daughter from. On her journey, she came upon a field of pink flowers surrounded by a fence of green ivy. She knew that these were what she wanted to create her daughter from. Taking the beauty from the flowers and the ivy, Sisterhood created her first daughter, Alpha Kappa Alpha. As a gift for her daughter, Sisterhood created a mirror for AKA not only to view her outward beauty but her inner beauty as well.

Seeing the greatness they had created separately, Brotherhood and Sisterhood decided that they would join together and give birth to the rest of their children. Their first union brought about the birth of their twin sons Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi. These twins from birth were opposites. For one, they were born in two different locations. Kappa had obtained the beauty of his parents while Omega received the strength attributed to the parents. Though there was much conflict between the two personalities, Kappa and Omega expressed much love for each other. Brotherhood and Sisterhood decided to give their twin sons gifts as signs of their personalities. Kappa was given a cane created out of red and white revealing that his beauty only came through blood and sweat. They gave Omega a pair of boots of gold that shined with lightening where ever he stepped and a vest of purple as a sign of his royalty.

To Sisterhood’s delight, their next child was a girl who they called Delta Sigma Theta. Delta, like her older bother Omega, gained more of the strength attribute of her parents. Because of this, her parents gave Delta a red elephant with bright ivory tusks as a sign of her strength.

Shortly after the birth of their daughter Delta, Phi Beta Sigma was brought into this world. His birth occurred as the moon was in its crescent phase. So his parents gave Sigma the sign of the crescent moon. His peaceful nature was ascribed by the parents to the dove that sang the coming of his birth and would sing to him throughout the day. Sigma`s greatest pride would come in the form of another sister, Zeta Phi Beta. Sigma and Zeta developed a bound that was greater than any of the other siblings. Because of their close relationship, Brotherhood and Sisterhood decided to give their daughter a gift of a white cat as an expression of her peaceful nature.

These proud parents would soon welcome their next and last daughter into their family. She was given the name Sigma Gamma Rho. She would have an association with her brother Kappa because of the sharing of their birth places. Due to a certain degree of elegance that Gamma Rho exuded, her parents gave her the gift of a well groomed poodle to express this elegance.

The elite eight would come together to establish their own nation called the National Pan-HellenicCouncil. The children of eight would become siblings of nine after a long period of time. The last child that Brotherhood and Sisterhood brought into the world would be their baby boy, Iota Phi Theta. To celebrate this addition, they created a centaur as a gift for their son. The other siblings were somewhat cautious of granting their brother citizenship, but finally did.

Thus becoming known as the "Divine Nine."

The Greek gods looked down on all their children and say "Well done my children may your light sign in the East forever and may your glory never fade in the West. Never forget that you are all one and from one."

This is quite possibly one of the silliest things that I have ever read...
Who writes these things...
And why is anyone so pressed about bonds.....
It is really funny!

I think it is rude for you to disrespect the author's creativity. I mean seriously, when is the last time that you wrote anything creative. Like Never Maybe. It's one thing to not agree with the piece that written, I even said that I laughed out loud at it's pun, and play on stereotypes. However, it still was creative in it's own right.

And to answer your question, I guess people care about bond to the extent that silly Deltas and AKA's care about their historical woes and friction. It is somewhat related to the history and relationships of the organizations.

We should turn these things into positive, not negative experiences.

Oh, so let me get this straight...
You can laugh out loud at it... but it is rude for me to call it what I think it is.... silly...?
You have some nerve! And you don't know what I write... I am entitled to my own opinion and furthermore I don't think the piece was very creative. I have heard similar pieces that compare BGLO founding to the creation story. I think that comparison at its base level is silly... If you think it is a masterpiece....fine...But that says more about you than the author...

And my question was rhetorical.... Please look that up...and become one with it...

[Pretty Kitty]

Oh and Conqueror... If you mean Sigma as in Phi Beta Sigma, kindly tell me the site address so I can discuss the "creativity" with my fraters....

I thought it was cheesy too, but I respect the effort it took to write it. Pretty Kitty you're wrong to refer to anyone's work as being silly. Especially with the lack of tack with which your replies were written. Also I will assume you are a Zeta, which means that stereotypically you see your constitutional bond as being superior to all others. Well let me say one thing. Bonds are forged through blood sweat and tears. Not paper and signatures. Respect what someone else has built through the years and also respect someone's creative work.

So you can call it cheesy... but I can't call it 'silly.'
LOL!!!
I suppose you see a huge difference between calling it silly and cheesy...
You are wrong for calling someone's work CHEESY... and by the way, that sounds more harsh than silly to me...
You need to respect other people's opinion. Everyone has their own and you are wasting your time if you think you can stop people from voicing it...
Don't assume you know how I view things, or associate stereotypes to me...
And you can miss me with the second rate kumbaya version of bonds... Tell it to the people who are requesting, inventing, confused and/or complaining about 'bonds' whether real or imaginary...

Yes, dear, I am a Zeta...so you can further assume that I don't require 'schooling' in the area of bonds and what it takes to construct them...

Also, please point me to the part where I said that I didn't respect the effort it took to write it....

I respect your opinion. I really do. I respectfully disagree with it. You have the right to think it's silly. That's fine with me.

Your opinion on "bonds" of course makes me sick to my stomach. But we can put that aside. I'll just write it off as your personal 1 in a million opinion.

I won't get into a technological battle of the wits. No need. Really there’s no need.

How can my 'opinion' of bonds make you sick? I didn't even give you my opinion on bonds!
You must be thinking of your own assumptions again... If you are... then we are going to need more than Pepto to clear that up for you, brother...
