Why do Sigmas and SGRhos carry canes? Posted on 08-23-2004

This doesn't have to be an outrageously long thread...I just always wondered. Yes, I am a Kappa, and we could beef about it all day back and forth, but I'd really like to know if there was specific reason...

It's commonly accepted by greek historians that the Sigmas were the first organization to use Canes; just like they were the first to use dog imagery. Sigma Gamma Rhos probably carry canes to signify the "Indiana Love" connection between them and Kappa Alpha Psi. In many parts of the country, they are brother-sister groups. Most greek-letter organizations use canes/staffs as paraphenalia. They are as commonplace as paddles.
