Is Coleman love a cheap knock off of Phi Beta?

Uh, not to be funny or disrespect those who actually acknowledge this fire and ice "bond" but that article did nothing but list Alpha/Delta marriages and hook ups over the years. THIS is where my confusion and frustration comes in with these so-called bonds. Can the number of Alpha/Delta marriages, hook-ups be compared to Coleman love??? I'm a history buff, I know about Frank and Edna and the significance of the 3 Musketeers and the founding of Delta. Can this bond be compared with fire and ice? I'm inclined to think it can't, but I'll let you answer that. Going back to what Soror PG was saying about groups wanting to be aligned with one another, that's all fine and dandy especially if there's historical significance behind the alignment. When I hear a Skee-Phi or an "06-08!", I think of the fact that Alpha Phi Alpha and Alpha Kappa Alpha were the first for people of color, the FIRST. This means more to me than how many of my Sorors have married Alpha men and formed "Lyle Love" bonds. I'm not saying bonds can't exist between individual members of orgs that have married; if an Alpha and a Delta marry or hook-up, the fire and ice bond is between them, not the organizations as a whole. Or at least it shouldn't be.
