If I am correct, the "PHI" in Groove Phi Groove and Swing Phi Swing have NOTHING to do with the Greek Alphabet. In fact, it is from another alphabet and has a definate meaning behind it. If I am wrong, any member of those two Black organizations please correct me.
^^^yep. The "Phi" was originally a KEMETIC(Ancient Egypt.....for the history impaired :roll: ) symbol. It represents man and the cycle of life, and takes on a slightly different look than the greek version of "Phi". In the Kemetic symbol, the circle in the middle is smaller.....the circle is said to represent the ego of man and it's not supposed to be larger than the man (which is represented by the "I" looking formation).
So, yep, both Swing and Groove are both non-greek......we're Black.

Quote: The "Phi"
In Secrets of the Great Egyptians, Peter Thompkins tells us that the Khemit people of Ancient Egypt created "Phi" as a symbol of the creative function of the male reproductive system, and more loosely as "reproduction in endless series." It was a symbolic representation of "the fire of life." We adopted this symbol of fertility in our name to stand for our continual growth and development. Our "Phi" should in no way be confused with the Greek symbol "Phi," which takes on the same look but a totally different meaning.
^^^And there you have it.
OLA, Mo!!!

Just for clarification, NOBODY knows ALL of their history. I promise you.
