Black Greek Life- News and Views

Sororities and fraternities have been an important part of the American lifestyle since a long time now. BGLO’s came into existence in the eighteenth century. The Phi Beta Kappa Society, founded on 5 December 1776, at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Virginia, is generally recognized to be the first Greek-letter student society. African-American life was never the same with the inception of these fraternities and sororities. These were initiated as mutual help groups, where help with scholarships, educational matters, social matters was extended to the members. Urban Lifestyle was changing and news relating to the BGLO’s was developing with every passing second. These sororities and fraternities became a part n parcel of the American life.

In the beginning Black Greek Letter Organizations were created to provide brotherhood/sisterhood for African-Americans attending college. They were not welcome in the other established Greek Letter Societies so they created their own. Based on the concept of brotherhood/sisterhood and mutual benefits, these groups gained popularity. These Organizations ask for lifelong commitment and promised unfaltering support in return. Though often misted with controversies, these Organizations remain to be popular till date. Leading the pack are the nine historical national fraternities and sororities- Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Kappa Alpha Psi, Omega Psi Phi, Delta Sigma Theta, Phi Beta Sigma, Zeta Phi Beta, Sigma Gamma Rho and Iota Phi Theta.

Over the time there have been questions that why do Black Fraternities & Sororities employ Greek letters, instead of an African based alphabet? The answer lies in the following. The origin of Greek letters can be traced back to the first fraternity Phi Beta Kappa. It is important to understand that the Greek writing system and philosophies has connections to Africa, particularly Egypt. Allegedly, the Greeks went to Africa and stole the writings, philosophies, and lifestyles of the Egyptians. Although each organization does employ Greek letters the objective of the fraternity was founded with the use of Greek letters. In keeping with the tradition that constitutes the reasons why Greek alphabets are used in place of African ones. But each particular organization employs some type of reference to Africa within the organization. To become Greek you should know the history that not only did the Greeks study in Egypt, but Jesus & Moses did as well. Also you should understand the concept of Phonetics and its creators the Phoenicians.
