This probably the 50eleventh time I'm gonna say this.......... Discretion is the KEY. He could have asked anyone in a PM. If he ain't know, I sure nuff mentioned that. Some people have helpful information to lend in discretion, 'hint hint'.

Okay...I wasn't gonna say anything......but I get hella offended when ignorant (uneducated...since he didn't know) people talk about things that they don't know anything about....I'm not a frat...but however I am GREEK...and Mr. the3rdosc...the reason we use greek names is not because we are in fact trying to be greeks, but because the greek writing system and philosophies connect with AFRICA...especially EGYPT...it was the Greeks that went to AFRICA and stole the writings.lifestyles, and philosophies of the Egyptians.........so therefore my brother....I proudly say I am GREEK...and being a part of DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY INC. has given me just as much honor pertaining to my African heritage as any other African Org (as you called it) would....Thank you and remember EDUCATION AND DISCRETION IS THE KEY!!!!

People who have never read "Stolen Legacy" wouldn't understand why we decided to use Greek letters. If the young person knew the history of the oldest collegiate fraternity for blacks, he'd realize that the naming conventions were adopted to allow the groups to thrive on white campuses. However, there is meaning in the names of each of the organization and if you research a bit, you'd find out that the references and African imagery is so strong that the ONLY thing greek about most of our organizations is the name.
