Creation
One day, the Greek gods Brotherhood and Sisterhood realized that they
were
lonely in the world. They had given birth to various children, but all
seemed to forsake their parents. So they decided to join together and
create
a new breed to fraternal children. Brotherhood was given the oppurtunity
to
create the first child. He decided to take something from the two
hemispheres of the world. So he gathered some "old gold" from the sun and
black from the night in Egypt. There he created his first born, Alpha Phi
Alpha. He granted his son wisdom as a gift of love. Seeing the child
that
Brotherhood had created, Sisterhood realized that APHIA should not be
alone
in the world. Sisterhood roamed the world, looking for entities that she
could create her first daughter from. On her journey, she came upon a
field
of pink flowers surrounded by a fence of green ivy. She knew that these
were
what she wanted to create her daughter from. Taking the beauty from the
flowers and the ivy, Sisterhood created her first daughter, Alpha Kappa
Alpha. As a gift for her daughter, Sisterhood created a mirror for AKA
not
only to view her outward beauty but her inner beauty as well.
Seeing the greatness they had created separately, brotherhood and
Sisterhood
decided that they would join together and give birth to the rest of their
children. Their first union brought about the birth of
their twin sons Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi. These twins from birth
were opposites. For one, they were born in two different cations. Kappa
had
obtained the beauty of his parents while Omega received the strength
attibuted to the parents. Though there was much conflict between the two
personalities, Kappa and Omega expressed much love for each other.
Brotherhood and Sisterhood decided to give their twin sons gifts as signs
of
their personalities. Kappa was given a cane created out of red and white
revealing that his beauty only came through blood and sweat. They gave
Omega
a pair of boots of gold that shined with lightning where ever he stepped
and a vest of purple as a sign of his royalty.
To Sisterhood's delight, their next child was a girl who they called
Delta
Sigma Theta. Delta, like her older bother Omega, gained more of the
strength
attribute of her parents. Because of this, her parents gave Delta a red
elephant with bright ivory tusks as a sign of her strength.
Shortly after the birth of their daughter Delta, Phi Beta Sigma was
brought
into this world. This was a child that posessed the greatest qualites of all. His birth occurred as the moon was in its crescent
phase.
So his parents gave Sigma the sign of the crescent moon. His peaceful
nature
was ascribed by the parents to the dove that sang the coming of his birth
and would sing to him throughout the day. Sigma's greatest pride would
come
in the form of another sister, Zeta Phi Beta. Sigma and Zeta devloped a
bound that was greater than any of the other siblings. Because of their

her

elegance.

>The elite eight would come together to establish their own nation called
the

world

somewhat
>cautious of granting their brother citizenship, but finally did.

>Thus becoming known as the "Divine Nine." The Greek gods looked down on
all
>their children and say "Well done my children may your light shine in the
>East forever and and may your glory never fade in the West. Never forget
>that you are all one and from one."
