Honestly you all, and all jokes aside, I consider myself very traditional when it comes to Delta and greekdom period and it just makes me angry when I hear all this so and so "connection" and so and so "love". On another thread these were actually laid out:

Pyramid Love
Indiana love
P & G love
Dog love
Last org love (or something like that for I Phi T and S G rho)
red and white love
etc etc

I just don't like all of this mess.
Our bonds need to remain simple and reflective of our history. Making up all this new stuff just complicates things and dillutes our real history. Its bad enough we have to argue and fuss over who our REAL bruhs are and why we have the bond that we do, we don't need all this extra stuff.I mean, in the end, we are all in our own respective organizations and pay dues to their national bodies..not those of the orgs that we claim as bruhs or sorors.

Oh my goodness -- I know I am going to be slammed for being in here and speaking on this topic. In my 10 years of NPHC love, my Sorors and I have always been cool with Omega men. We respect and love them just as they have respected and loved us. We've never felt a need to "create" any other kind of bond. As we all know a lot of these relationships really depend on your campus, city, etc. Of course I give all props to the Alpha Nation. But can I commune at the Que house? Every time I have been with your bruhs, they have been very open, and amazingly they rarely "come at me" wrong. Of course there is an ass in every frat. I was just in Miami on a business trip and much hospitality was extended to me by your bruhs. In fact, since my undergrad years Omegas, Alphas, Kappas, and Sigmas (I don't know any Iotas) have taken very good care of my sorors and me. And that treatment doesn't need a title, lable, acronym or anything else. Its called respect and love for the NPHC. PLUS Omega Men are very intelligent -- they know perfection when they see it.

Hey Frat:
I was talking with a bruh, and he said that Coleman Love is dying out because sorors expect too much from a bruh, while the AKAs love the bruhs no matter how they act. What do yall think about that? Do yall think this may be the reason why more sorors are dating Alphas and more Bruhs are dating AKAs?

Oh and in case anyone is not familiar with
P&G thats a term that some bruhs. Purple & Gold and Pink & Green, refers to the Omega/AKA (P&G connection).

Ladies of DST, I am most happy at all of the love shown to us. I know that I get a twinge of jealousy seeing those damn "Crimson and Creme" Balls thrown by the Deltas and Kappas. So be it. Anyway, if you are raised right, Coleman Love always supercedes. I know that at UAB, da Bruhs and AKAs were mad cool because it was like that and the Sorors were off the yard. They came back this year and the Coleman vibe was instant. Bruhs are still cool with the AKAs but the Reds ride up front and get to the grill first, if you know what I mean.

Hey Soror Crimson Rage! I remember that thread in the Zeta forum about bruh/sorors and the whole constitutionally bound thing. I pointed that out to say that people can 'pair' off however they want to as to give closure to that whole topic. People always want to start something *new* but tradition is tradition and we all know that there is only ONE org who are OUR bruhs http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

Soror Metamorphosis, the only way Coleman Love can die is if we let it die. Both sorors and bruhs must respect each other and come correct. As far as expecting too much from Omegas, Deltas always have had high standards http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

When I read that statement regarding why Coleman may be dying out, my first thought on that topic was that it sounds just like the justification that some Black men who date white women use who claim sistas are too demanding! I seriously doubt that our Greek Sisters of AKA would allow craziness and disrespect in the name of acceptance.

McCoyRed: if there is a real danger (and not perceived one) to Coleman Love, I believe it would be the number of inactive/suspended chapters at too many of our university. Many Deltas spend their formative years without any Bruhs to kick it with. I think that is more of an issue than Bruhs not "coming correct". Again, it all goes back to how you are raised.

Hey yall, I definitely have to say that on my yard, the bruhs were basically non-existent until Fall 96, then there were only two bruhs on the yard. And due to the fact that the bruhs were almost non-existent, sorors basically developed a tight bond with the Alphas, hence Fire & Ice.

I dont know if its just me, but sometimes I feel like the Coleman luv is non-existent in NYC because alot of sorors have had bad experiences with bruhs who just dont know how to act. Now please notice I said "bruhs" and not "Omega man", because there is definitely a differce between the two.
Now dont get me wrong, I will always have mad love for the bruhs, but sometimes you just gotta keep the Coleman Love cordial and move on. Plenty of bruhs have said they will never date a soror because once they date a soror, its like dating her chapter, and once they break up with that soror the Coleman love kind of dwindles. Is this just a NYC thing, or do other people know what Im talking about?

BTW Soror SexyMocha, who is your cousin, I just joined Brooklyn Alumnae this January so Im still learning alot of names. (P.S. how did you do that fabulous icon with the smiley face clapping?)

I lived in NYC for two years and was the UG Advisor for a chapter on L.I. Where is Pi Beta? From what I noticed, the Bruhs have mad love for the Reds at St Johns and Stony Brook. There are no UG chapters in NYC so that may be where the problem lies. I have been to many Greek events in NYC and I have never seen a Bruh disrespect a Soror (not that it doesn't happen). Maybe because you haven't experienced them in undergrad, how we act toward you may be surprising. But da Bruhs from Nu Omicron, Kappa Omicron, Xi Psi, and Epsilon, are true Omega Gentleman (with a touch of PitBull outness).

Yes, when a Bruh dates a Delta, he in effect, is dating the whole chapter and half of the sorority. A Bruh like me can't go nowhere without somebody saying, "your name is what from where?", don't you date my Soror.....? Dating a Delta is not like taking sand to the beach, its like taking sand to every beach, lol

Doggystlye, Pi Beta is a city wide chapter in Rochester, NY and Yes I have experienced hanging out with the bruhs, there are bruhs in Buffalo, Syracuse, Binghamton and still some in Oswego if Im not mistaken. My point was that due to the fact they we all werent on the same yard, the Coleman Love didnt develop as well as it could have http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/frown.gif

All I can say is I love my Bruhz with all my heart. They have been there for me sinc the moment I crossed and I have been there for them. Many of the other greeks on campus try to joke us about the CL relationship, but they just don't understand it. Other fraternities try to get real close to us as the other sororities try to get close to the Omegas. We ain't havin' it. Coleman Love till the day I die.

Edna was a Delta, Frank Was a Que
that's all we need to make our love true.

Soror, funny you should bring up such a topic. I have a really close friend who is an Alpha, and he always jokes around with me and says regardless of Coleman Luv, the Delta will always end up with an Alpha and the Omega will always end up with an AKA..

I think it's kind of funny. I got mad luv for all Greeks, but the purple and gold will always be #1 in my heart!! The bruhs were there for me from the very beginning until the end... and I was a SOLO, and they helped me out a lot (They also f**ked with me a lot, too... but that's another story http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif )And someone brought up in another forum that they in some places, and AKA will call on Omega "bruh"..... I was like, WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not in my presence!!!!!!!

I hear, ya Bruh http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif There was no chapter of Omegas on my yard but one of my classmates was made thru the intermediate chapter. Most of our events were held w/ the Kappas and we were mad tight. However, the bond was manifested to us when we greeted the Omegas as Big Brothers and NOT the Kappas. So even if there are not Omegas on the yard, that Bond can still be taught and respected.

As for the inactive/suspended chapters, that's a whole 'nother thread!

Of course I have something to say, because I just LOOOOOOOVE my Bruhs. But sorry to say last summer there was a P&G cook-out in the WDC area. Needless to say I was sickened. And yes a few AKA's try to be out in the frat house, but there is no question whose house it is and who is more welcomed. Not to mention Sorors are in there tight!! Come to think of it, I may have seen some non-family members, but they seem to know their place and don't do their calls. But if they did there's enough sorors in there to drown them out. Ok, i guess that wasn't nice, but I still have respect for all BGLO's. Were I crossed the bond is tight, heck we even hop with the bruhs. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

What's up everyone! Sending love all the way around. First, let me get it out there before someone tries to call me out. I am NOT BGLO, but I am a interest of the Devasting Delta Sigma Theta . . . then AND now. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif
If I over step my boundaries, forgive me and correct me. When I was first exposed to DST, I was exposed to Omega. It was not until later that I learned they are not constitutionally bound. I have seen post after heated post about Coleman Love. My theory . . . tradition or not . . . constitutional or not . . . Coleman Love does exist. I will admit the thought of mixing the Purple and Gold with anything other than the Crimson and Creme makes me sick to my stomach. I have met many a DST that have married other than Omega and vice versa, BUT their fraternal love and bond with the sisters and bruhs runs the course of their entire being. I want to know what the big deal is. Why is the existence of Coleman Love always getting attacked? http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/mad.gif It does not stand for anything other than the respect, admiration, compassion, loyalty, and love that Delta Sigma Theta and Omega Psi Phi share. I mean everyone tries to point out the stereotype of the Omega and Delta, yet everyone still prefers the Omega and Delta. Could these be attacks of jealousy.

Pyramid Love
Indiana love
P & G love
Dog love
Last org love (or something like that for I Phi T and S G rho)
red and white love
etc etc

I just don't like all of this mess.
Our bonds need to remain simple and reflective of our history. Making up all this new stuff just complicates things and dillutes our real history. Its bad enough we have to argue and fuss over who our REAL bruhs are and why we have the bond that we do, we don't need all this extra stuff.I mean, in the end, we are all in our own respective organizations and pay dues to their national bodies..not those of the orgs that we claim as bruhs or sorors.

I agree with Phasad. If we're going to break every single "connection" down and attempt to create a bond, we may as well admit that ALL HBGLOs have a "connection."
Not like it matters, but here are the connections that I acknowledge:
--Coleman Love
--Phirst Phamily
--Indiana Love
--Zeta Phi Beta Sigma
--(at least where I am) the Iotas and their sweethearts act like a "bruh and soror" connection

Gross. i have never heard of the P & G Connection in SC. and now i'm at a internship in nashville and me and my line sister have never been here before on Fisk Campus but as soon as the Bruhs knew that is was about 20 Delta's from out of town on the campus they were here quick fast to make sure that we had everything we need. they tak eus bowling, to the movies, mall, have cook-outs and most of the time just come up here and chill with us. i'm a Neo,spr.2001, and everyday i wake up i love with the love i receive from the sorors and frat. i love the Coleman Fam and never want to really know about any other "Connection"

Hello everyone,

I am a proud member of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. So I know directly about having bonds. I cannot speak for any other type of 'bond', but the bond I have with my frat brothers is strong and true. Still, it annoys me to see people trivialize bonds to the level of who is dating who, who married who, whose colors are what, whose mascots match, etc. Can I get the gag bag next!!!

I hate when women think they own fraternity men because of these so called bonds!!! I wish people would listen to themselves.
Make believe bonds are my issue. I have even seen Gamma Rhos and members of Phi Beta Sigma throw events together under the "Sigma Bond." Hey events and co-sponsorship is their issue, but a "Sigma" Bond!!! GAAAG!!!BARFF!! Usually, when explored, these types of bonds do not truely go beyond the bed room!!!
Men are still men!!
So I still love my blue phi!!!

They have been trying to find some bruhs for years and the Iotas are so desperate for acceptance...they just jumped on the band wagon. I can deeply understand you sickness when you see P&G love..I would like WTF?

I just want to start off saying that none of us "own" a brother organization. We don't own da bruhs. I say this because (not on this thread) when I go to some schools, the Deltas are fighting other Deltas, AKAs, GDIs, even Que Pearls, for da bruhs. We don't need to fight for their attention or their respect. If other orgs. want to get close to da bruhs...ooookay...if da bruhs let them...ooookay. If they REALLY know about Edna and Frank...they recognize where the real love is http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif
I agree that bruhs usually end up with the AKAs. As I hear da bruhs say alllllll the time: you date the Delta, you marry the AKA. That's cool. I've heard bruhs even joke that Frank got tired of the dirty reds, that's why he divorced Edna. That's cool, too.
Just know that Coleman Love is only as strong as the Sorors and bruhs that acknowledge it.

Ditto, Soror! The Bruhs I know (from Mississippi to DC to Ohio to Pittsburgh) all share that philosophy. I do know a couple who've married AKAs, but even they admit that they always thought they'd be with a Soror.

It would be my dream to marry a Bruh for all that they epitomize, but I know that true love is blind to superficial things like greek affiliation. I'll marry the man who is sent to me by the Father. Of course, on my "wishlist" I'll ask that he be an Omega Man! (It doesn't hurt to ask, right?)

I don't think we're worked up. We're just having some good ol' fashioned fun with the historical Delta/AKA rivalry and the Que/Delta bond.

Personally, I honestly don't give 2 sh*ts and a rat's a$$ if the Ques and AKAs at XYZ University have a tight bond, or if the Bruhs are more likely to marry an AKA than Soror; none of it really has anything to do with me or to any of us, for that matter. I think that most of us are just BS'n for laughs and to show our Bruhs how we feel about them and OUR Bond.

Greetings All,

Speaking as a member of Alpha Chapter, the term "P&G Love" is in use and is not limited to chapters in NY, and I personally feel that there is nothing wrong with it. In response to a statement made earlier:

"Our bonds need to remain simple and reflective of our history. Making up all this new stuff just complicates things and dillutes our real history. Its bad enough we have to argue and fuss over who our REAL bruhs are and why we have the bond that we do, we don't need all this extra stuff"

I am in total disagreement. We live in an increasingly more complicated world. We are all working towards the same goal of bettering the black community and the world as a whole. Limiting the acceptance and tolerance of these possible "connections" and partnerships, limits our collective ability to respond to the changing needs of society. All of our organizations are beautiful and distinct in their own way and none of this can be diminished by looking for commonalities amongst us, no matter how trivial they may seem.

All of our organizations have commonalities...some based on where we were founded, principles, goals, etc. If mere commonalities constitute a "bond," we need to go on head and remember that all of our organizatins share a bond. Although I'm Delta-centric (everything revolves around DST http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif), we're all black community-centric...that's our focus.
In relation to this specific discussion, I think some of us are stressing the difference b/w a connection, commonalities, and a bond. Connections and commonalities do not (always) constitute a bond.

Since when has the Omega Psi Phi Board become the Delta board? And WHO said it was appropriate to make such nasty classless commentary certainly NOT reflective of the word SISTERHOOD? LL1you need a STRAIGHT ATTITUDE CHECK. This is not about greek life. Somebody gave you some BAD INFORMATION. IF YOU THINK FOR A MINUTE, ITS CUTE, TO DISRESPECT SO BLATANTLY THE TENETS OR CHARACTER OF AN ENTIRE ORGANIZATION, AND PREFACE THE COMMENT WITH A DISCLAIMER ABOUT YOUR SORORITY...YOU ARE WRONG. DEAD WRONG.

I have been a FINER WOMAN for nearly 11 years and NEVER have I seen such an ugly, ugly display of dis-unity in MY LIFE!

FYI...FOR ANY ONE WHO READS THIS NOTE...I AND MY SORORS WILL POST ANY WHERE WE PLEASE ON THIS BOARD OR ANY OTHER PUBLIC BOARD. We must stop this nonsensical godlike worship of our Sororities and Fraternities veiled in honor of our own organization. I know my Founders would NOT approve of such a display towards another woman...let alone another woman from the NPHC. It is UNHEALTHY to continue down these roads.

This whole thing has gotten absolutely ridiculous. It is very clear clear in these posts that many, particularly the younger members, believe, they will only sweat for members of their organization, that you have a LOT OF GROWING UP TO DO. I am calling on ALL elder Greeks to get your Sorors and Fraters in check here. We must do better than this. A SAD SAD STATE OF AFFAIRS.

Believe me when I say this, NO ONE CARES WHAT LETTERS OR COLORS YOU ARE WEARING IN THE REAL WORLD...ITS ABOUT WHO GETS THE JOB DONE. Its a compliment to say someone has worked hard for you and has been RE-HIRED for a job. There is NOTHING disrespectful about that.

It's sad that we--the allegedly upstanding, elite members of the college-educated black community--would perpetuate such ridiculousness. It was all just jokes in the beginning, but now that people are attacking each other and their orgs, it's not funny anymore. We all need to GROW UP! And, I say this to members (representing ALL the orgs) who've posted to this topic.

Here are the FACTS:

--There is a TRUE HISTORICAL BOND between Delta Sigma Theta and Omega Psi Phi. The fact that it is not a constitutional bond does not alter HISTORY.

--The bond isn't based on a marriage, despite want you've heard/learned.

--As honorers of this HISTORY, members of DST and Omega carry on the TRADITION of acknowledging the bond through what is called "Coleman Love."

--Not ALL members of DST and Omega care to acknowledge the bond due to non-existent or negative experiences with one another.

--If a CHAPTER'S experiences with another org are more pleasant/compatible than with it's brother/sister org, OR if a CHAPTER gravitates toward another org because it's brother/sister org doesn't have a chapter on its campus or in the area, the CHAPTER has a RIGHT to form a campus/local/regional bond with another org. By doing so, only the TRADITION for that org. has been altered-- NOT the HISTORY.

--It is not the place of any one person, chapter, or org to judge/assess the depths of the bond between any two people, chapters, or orgs. Only those two people, chapters, or orgs will ever truly know just how REAL and DEEP their BOND is. TO EACH THEIR OWN!

And I'm Out!

And yes-- there are chapters in ZPBS who don't acknowledge the bond with their sister/brother org on their campus, either because they don't have one or because of friction. Still, we all know that the ZPBS bond is constitutional. However, that doesn't mean all Zetas and all Sigmas HAVE to love each other! We are ALL HUMAN! We should always be who we are FIRST and FOREMOST! The letters should merely be a SMALL part of who we are-- not the main part. Our truest, strongest BOND should be with GOD anyway!

is the inability to stick to an argument. I mean has argumentative essay writing gone completely out of the door in academia????
Mess? Surely you jest. Based, on the statement of truths, what seems to be the problem? Is it a lie that there is no national recognition of your relationship? Should it suprise you or any of the members of any of the "historically bonded" :p organizations that there would be some question of validity when there is an inconsistent recognition of your "historical bond" nationwide amongst YOUR individual sorority/fraternity memberships.

You are drawing your own conclusions. Hey, you cannot please all of the people all of the time. However, being rude or plain nasty can be controlled. I 'm gonna say it again...THESE BOARDS ARE PUBLICLY VIEWED AND UTILIZED BY ALL. You have no right whatsoever to ask or demand for that matter anyone not post anywhere on these boards. I believe this site was set up initially to attract ALL Greeks... to encourage a healthy exchange amongst members and those seeking interest in Greek life.

I resent the notion that it is okay for only half of the NPHC to have an opinion or viewpoint on issues relative to one's Greek experience. My Soror PrettyKitty, was ALSO joking if you read her post.

BTW, I do believe the good Brother DoggyStyle82---the MODERATOR and BROTHER OF OMEGA PSI PHI FRATERNITY, INC. will say when people are not welcomed. (Which by the way would be silly, just plain dumb, and well RUDE. HELLO... THIS IS THE WORLD WIDE WEB and doing so, would only make his organization look bad)

If you don't like what you are reading, then I would you suggest hit that little x in the corner of your screen.

One more thing, if there is a topic that you only want "certain kind of people" :rolleyes: to respond to...have no shame...I have seen it done...put in your subject line...ONLY "MNO" RESPOND. If you are a moderator you can delete all of the other posts that do not conform to your liking...or opinion. If not, you will just have to grin and bear it like the rest of us!

the411

11-09-2001, 04:58 PM

Yes, it is a FACT that ALL are welcomed to read and post in this forum as they please. I know for a fact that DoggyStyle82 doesn't believe in censorship (That is, unless you're perpetuating some myths/rumors about Que Psi Phi-- he'll break you off for that!), so no one has to question his/her freedom to post their comments or opinions in here. HOWEVER-- I am simply asking that we refrain from arguments and personal attacks! This is a time when we should be pulling together, folks! We're each entitled to our opinions, but there is a such thing as beating a dead horse.

YES-- the Zetas and the Sigmas are constitutionally bound-- no one is denying or criticizing that, and no one should. And, while the bond between DST and Omega is not constituted in writing, the FACT REMAINS that these two orgs DO INDEED share a BOND! That being said, we as Deltas and Omegas have a right to be irritated and/or a little jealous that our sorors/bruhs are bonding with other orgs for whatever the reason. For those of us who acknowledge the HISTORICAL BOND and the TRADITIONS that have derived from it, we are simplly a little baffled at the thought of bruhs and sorors not having a loving, sibling relationship, yet we know that, for whatever reason, those things do happen.

But, no matter who the Ques kick it with on their yard or in their city, I know my Coleman Love runs so deep that I will always and forever give nothin' but LOVE to 'em. For me, it doesn't take a constitution or national recognition to create/strengthen my love for my burhs; all I need is the writing on my heart, not on paper.
And, I have NO DOUBT that if the ZPBS bond were not in writing, the love between the two orgs would be just as TIGHT because there's no way the two orgs could ignore their histories and the sibling connection that has ensued as a result. If we respect each other, we should respect each other's histories and traditions, and the things that are important to each of us!

Please, y'all-- let's stop with the back and forth pettiness on the board. If you want to address someone, you can always send a private message or e-mail. Please, someone-- be adult enough to end the defensive refutations, okay?

And I'm Out!

This conversation has gotten out of hand. I thought we were too old for the school-yard-type dissing and battles. I agree with PrettyKitty in that, without National recognition, there are going to be different versions of soror/frat "bonds" and affiliations. We know the most common bonds, though. Most importantly, what's the fuss...I believe that folks were just trying to bring some humor to (an actually quite humorous) discussion. I may've been guilty of this, too, but all of this "ewww" and "gross" at other organizations' bonds (or perceived bonds) can be taken as straight-up disrespect. I don't take it that way, but I can see how all this conversation can be misconstrued and taken negatively. Finally, anyone is free to post anywhere...it's easy to misinterpret what someone means behind a post...so, instead of flying off the deep end, play it cool. Deez jes jokes and we're all family!!

Well, in continuing with the original subject of this post, I have two things to say. The first is a situation with a bruh - he's a neo. But I was informed of this through someone else.... Here the situation: Another bruh was having a party that had a mixture of sorors, bruhs and AKA's there. Lo and behold, one of the bruhs (the neo) is seen strollin through the party with some AKA's. So while they're throwing up pinkies, he's throwing up hooks! So when they sorors and other bruhs saw this, they pulled him aside and hemmed him up! They were mad and basically chewed him out. So needless to say, he didn't do that anymore. But point of the story is, sorors and bruhs were insulted to see a bruh defect from the bond right in their face! I think that is disrespectful, personally. I was interested in hearing what other sorors and bruhs thought about this situation.. Would you say something?

But on a lighter note, the other thing I wanted to say was that I recently got engaged to my boyfriend who is An Alpha !!!! Yeah, the bruhs said something to me about it, and after thoroughly dissing the Alphas, they congratulated me. But that was expected :D

But even though my Alpha man is my heart - I still got nothin' but love for the bruhs....COLEMAN LUV 4EVER

TRUE ZETA :Can I get some crackers too! I got into a heated argument with a member of Sigma Gamma Rho about their last org love or Golden Love affair. They have been trying to find some bruhs for years and the Iotas are so desperate for acceptance...they just jumped on the band wagon. I can deeply understand you sickness when you see P&G love..I would like WTF? I always saw the Ques and Deltas together because of the Coleman love thing ..not because os your colors...Golden Love Affair..yuk? Or which state you were founded in...Indiana Luv..I dated a Kappa who thought the whole Indiana Love thing was a joke..he said they dont even associate with them..Pass the barf bag!!!

First off...we have not been "LOOKING" for bruhs at all. A Sigma woman stands on her own and does not NEED a man. We welcome, cherish, and apprieciate love from all frats, but do not need it to survive...my blood, sweat and tears were for Sigma Gamma Rho, not KAPsi, APhiA, QuePsiPhi, PBS, or IPhiT.
What is the big deal with connections anyways? If two people recognize it, then let it be! All frats and sororities have connections...it's simply which ones you choose. And the area you are from, obviously, the Kappa you dated didn't recognize that. OK...whats your point??!!!
In my area, we have Indy Luv. Not "frat"...just love and respect for the men of KAPsi because our founders dealt with the same racial issues in Indiana. And we receive love back.
But no one is stressin it so just let it be! And please stop hating...just stick to your frat, and I will continue to be tight with all fraternities and sororities...because isn't that the point ANYWAYS????

Go 'head sisterfriend. Just a point of clarification, technically, all sorority women and men stand alone and none of us NEED a man, woman or soror/frat relationship. Afterall, not all Deltas and Ques acknowledge Coleman Love...while it may be disheartening :p...it does not lessen their statuses as members of Delta Sigma Theta or Omega Psi Phi. So, I agree with your post, but wanted to add something :)

When it comes to the so called "P&G" connection, I am a little shocked! I really do have love for my bruhs, as well as a respect for all other fraternities. However, if you look at history, there are reasons why we left from AKA and why we have a genuine love for Omega Psi Phi. When I think of a P&G connection, I get angry. This is because I can't help but think of all the beautiful things that make us unique from AKA's and I get fustrated to hear that they are tyring to make a connection with something that I hold so dear to my heart such as Omega Psi Phi! Most bruhs I comes encounter with show me nothing but respect. You don't hear me hollaring "phi-ooop!" Sorry about the bias but I am a breed that believes that when It comes to love I show it for my bruhs.

What is this with the AKA's are trying to make a connection?? Please don't believe it.

On our yard we worked with everybody and had love for everybody period. P&G was something trotted out for co-sponsored parties or events, just like if the Deltas had a part with the Alpha's it was Fire and Ice, or if we had a party with the Alpha's it was Phirst Pham, not anything that anyone took too seriously and CERTAINLY not something that any of my Sorors pushed. I had never even HEARD of this so-called connection until a Que who was trying to push up told me.

So please get over the anger. We all know that with the exceptions of some ties with historical value (like Coleman love and Phirst Pham) and the ZPBS family, that org's from campus to campus play with who they choose to affiliate with based on who they hang with and what groups are popular (the Crimson & Cream team, Pretty girls and Pretty boys, etc). Shoot, I even heard of one campus where the Zetas and Kappas had what they called the "All American team" (OK, now that one DID make me slightly ill).

If you seriously believe that I am offended by what is said here than you obviously don't read too clearly.:rolleyes:

I believe that the whole point of my post was that no one takes a lot of these made-up ties too seriously. That might seem like common knowledge to more seasoned members of BGLO's, but newer members like Luvly (I am making the assumption, please correct me if I am wrong) seem to have some strong feeling about it. I wanted to make sure she knew the deal.

And maybe you meant for it to be lighthearted, but the amount of infantile finger-pointing on this thread makes it pretty damn silly to me.

Black people, Black people.

Like Doggystyle said, this was supposed to have been a lighthearted thread...but it's lightheartedness was lost in the first couple pages of posts.

To respond to Luvly7, about the phi-ooop thing, we don't do cross calls here anyway...so we see da bruhs and say Coleman Love, not ooop-rooo or whatever---just an example of how things are different depending on where you go. Like I've said before some yards are different, regardless, we are not constitutionally bound to a frat. We don't need a constitution to validate our love, but those of us who have love for da bruhs often run into bruhs and sorors who could care less about the Coleman Family. Which is why we can't take all of this too seriously and shouldn't be grossed out or think anyone wants to take da bruhs away.

I feel you, but I don't think the THREAD is silly. After all, this is a free speech venue and as moderators, we don't want people to feel like they can't say what's on their minds.
http://dgl.microsoft.com/thumbnails/j010/j0106630(t).gif
We already have at least ONE forum that is so heavily policed that we can't even really talk about the forum's namesake! The last thing we need is for the Dog House to censor us!
http://dgl.microsoft.com/thumbnails/j017/j0171829(t).gif

As for the "infantile finger-pointing," I can definitely understand why you feel the way you do. But, assuming you've read each post in its entirety, you'll see what things were said and by whom that led to the finger-pointing and offensive posts. We (the sorors) were just having innocent fun at first; even the AKAs were joking with us. But (and forgive me if I offend someone w/ this), things started getting a li'l outta hand when other visitors dropped by 1911 Coleman Blvd., Suite 13 and started gettin' kinda defensive.

As you go through older posts, you'll see that a lot of us (from all orgs) have established some tight cyber bonds over the last 1+ years. We know how far we can go with each other as it relates to our orgs. But, when some new members drop in and pick up on the tail end of something we let go MONTHS ago, things that were initially meant in innocent fun and rivalry get miscontrued and blown way outta proportion...which leads to offensive and defensive responses. Again, I fully understand your sentiments, but if you look at the dates of the posts and the people posting them, you'll see that the issue was squashed and settled quite some time ago. What is silly is that so many people KEEP beating the already dead horse! I thought we'd all agreed, over 20 posts ago, that each chapter is different depending on the campus, and that not all folks acknowledge the traditional/historical bonds of their orgs. That being said (yet again), there is really no need to argue the validity of any connection between two chapters of BGLOs.

Now, since we do promote and welcome free speech here, no one's gonna censor what anyone has to say. But, by allowing free speech, we also have to accept that people are going to continue to share their thoughts about the subject... which may make the drama escalate all over again. So, with that in mind, we all have two choices regarding topics that we deem silly or ridiculous:
1. Be Out in this forum with the bruhs (and continue to express yourself)
http://dgl.microsoft.com/thumbnails/j013/j0137023(t).gif
OR
2. Be UP out of the forum (if you think what others say is too silly or offensive)
http://dgl.microsoft.com/thumbnails/j026/j0261053(t).gif

Ultimately, all we want is for folks to feel comfortable expressing themselves.

And I'm Out!

The thread definitely started out as fun and funny. No question of that. But this thread has just gone all over the place! Did you read the post by True Zeta? I mean, wow.

Agreed.

Again, I fully understand your sentiments, but if you look at the dates of the posts and the people posting them, you'll see that the issue was squashed and settled quite some time ago.

I wasn't responding to any older posts because I viewed all that as done. I was responding to Luvly, whose post popped up on my new posts screen, and whose passion on this subject sincerely surprised me.

Really.

I thought we'd all agreed, over 20 posts ago, that each chapter is different depending on the campus, and that not all folks acknowledge the traditional/historical bonds of their orgs.

Can't argue with that a'tall

But, by allowing free speech, we also have to accept that people are going to continue to share their thoughts about the subject... which may make the drama escalate all over again. So, with that in mind, we all have two choices regarding topics that we deem silly or ridiculous:
1. Be Out in this forum with the bruhs (and continue to express yourself)

OR
2. Be UP out of the forum (if you think what others say is too silly or offensive)

Now I never tried to curtail anyone's free speech, nor did I say that anyone shoud not express how they feel. But when someone expresses their feelings and I have a thought or question on it I am likely to respond in kind.

I don't know why I would have to leave the forum. As I said, I was not in the slightest offended by what was said. My whole post was just meant to point out that past some of the historical bonds, the affiliations vary from campus to campus and social scene to social scene. And that getting upset over that was silly. Yes I said it, silly.

I did not say that the starter or the intent of the thread was silly, but really the behavior by some supposedly grown folks has just startled me. Are we really that mad about this issue? relax, relate, release!

Oh, no--I wasn't telling YOU to leave. Basically, I was referring to the people who really do get so upset and offended that they feel the need to lash out at others. I don't think anyone is trying to censor anyone else; I just think it's pointless to argue and fight over such a trivial issue. My point is this: If the topic is that upsetting for anyone, don't perpetuate it by keeping the fire blazing--either accept everyone else's opinions or leave. I just feel like some folks are trying to change minds/opinions and form allies, rather than accepting that we can agree to disagree. Share your thoughts, post your smilies, do whatever-- but don't make it your mission to point fingers and place blame (like you said). We were initially asked how we felt about the P&G Connection, so that's what the responses should address. Instead, folks have been bickering about all kinds of other, unrelated stuff. THAT's the kinda stuff that needs to go elsewhere, if ya ask me. As a moderator, I just hate it when folks go on tangents--even when peace is maintained. But, that's jess moi!

And I'm Out!

Well, Colemans looks like we can stick a fork in it (this thread is done :)).
I'm not trying to be a cosigner here, but let's use tact and poise in future threads (where the topic may be deemed somewhat controversial).
Visitors to this forum: Other organizations are famous for asking that people leave their drama and disrespect at the door when they visit other forums...let's show the men of Omega the same respect, please. If this doesn't pertain to you, don't think it's being addressed to you. (You know how cyber paranoid folks get on these boards).
I'm not applying for the "Moderator-of-the-Que-Forum" position, but I just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents ;)

OO-OOP sorors!
Coleman Love bruhs!
Greek LLLOOOOOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE (say it with me) e'rybody else!

I think the moderator is doing a fine job. But if he ever decides to pass the torch, I nominate Lone Dog. :D

And I'm Out!

I have heard the lamentations of my people. This thread will be closed due to a bad case of Ralph Tresvant-itis (sensitivity). Let the people say: AMEN
