Confused..... Posted on 12-09-2005

I have been doing some research over the past few days and I have a few questions for all the greeks on this board and I'd like for each org to answer. I've been trying to find online but can't. How are the Alpha's and AKAs connected?..... Is it true that the Kappa's are rejects from the Alphas?... Is it true that the Delta's were from the AKAs?...until some kinda controversy stirred up?...... I keep hearing of the Kappa's going broke in the early 10's....so they needed help from another Fraternity....a Jewish Frat called Phi Nu Pi?...Why isn't Phi Nu Pi in exsistence any longer? Were the Sigma's invited by Diggs to join KAPsi? "About the time, Sigma received an invitation to merge with another Greek letter organization that had originated in Indiana. This rather unusual bid came from Elder W. Diggs, founder and head of the Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity.. the letter was dated December 11, 1915, and was typed on official stationery with Diggs listed as "Grand Polemarc." At that time Kappa was getting on its feet in the Midwest while Sigma was getting its start in the East and South. It is interesting to speculate as to what the picture of fraternity life in America would be today if these two organizations had joined forces in 1915. Would they have melted together, smoothly adding strength and power to the union or would there have been a clash of strong personalities and different ideals and objectives? " also.... Where does the Phi Nu Pi come from in Kappa Alpha Psi? I also heard a rumor (just like a lot of other greeks) that Kappa Alpha Psi originally had 13 founders and three of them were white but they do not want to recognize them being it is supposed to be a BLACK Greek organization so they just say that they have 10 founders. Is it true that the Ques are the Kappa rejects?.... What is Coleman Love?..... Where does the Phi Nu Pi come from in Kappa Alpha Psi?

How can you be a Greek Fraternity when ur logos are African Based?...Example.... No disrespect to any Inc., I'm just confused of what's going on....Can someone clear this up for me.

Much of this can be found in Lawrence Ross' book: The Divine Nine, or Walter Kimbrough's book: Black Greek 101.
