Gamma Phi Gamma in School Daze
I have been wondering and Googling for a while and no one has given me a concrete answer to this question, so I will ask it now:
Is Gamma Phi Gamma in Spike Lee's "School Daze" a direct parody of Groove Phi Groove?
If not is it a direct parody of any other greek lettered organization?

It is a mixture of BGLO frats and a parody of BGLOs, in general.

Why would you think this? Groove is not a GLO and Gamma Phi Gamma is (atleast it is in the movie). I agree with DrPhil.

I heard from some folks that Spike Lee dropped line on both Groove and Alpha.

1. Ask Spike.
2. Spike dropped Omega. At Morehouse. Well known fact. (it's in the School Daze book)

It's 20+ years ago and if you watch the movie carefully, it's abundantly clear what the 'parody' (or parallel if you prefer to see it that way) is.
What interests you about Spike's BGLO aspirations?

Considering that the Gamma Rays were groupies and the other women (I hate the term jigaboo  ) were unaffiliated, I don't see how either group could represent the oldest (AKA) and the largest (DST) female NPHC GLOs.

As for this nonsense, I don't blame the Kappas for giving you the ghost face

You should be glad you haven't gotten a response from any Kappas...

Well, somebody told you wrong! The Gamma Rays were clearly the auxillary group/little sisters of Gamma Phi Gamma and the "jigaboos" were just a group of girls who didn't like or get along with them.
And you won't get any responses to such a question.

To answer your question, No Gamma Phi Gamma is not suppose to be Groove Phi Groove. Actually the group that is "most like" Groove is Lawerance Fishborne's group(DAP) which is named Fellas Phi Fellas. Spike was said to be an enternal Swanxman. Swanxman is what we call our pledges. Its a Smoove, Suave man about town/campus. So that is the scoop on Groove Phi and Gamma Phi reference coming straight from a Groove. lol
