DISCLAIMER:
These videos don't mean to imply that the body stance that is shown is always the way that members of these sororities always since their hymns or sweetheart songs. Also, in each organization, the body stance for sweetheart songs may be different than the body stance for the organization's national hymn.

This serves as a companion post to http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2017/11/videos-of-kkpsi-fratenrity-three.html "Videos Of KKPsi Fratenrity & Three Historically Black Greek Letter Fraternities Crossing Arms While Singing Their Fraternity Hymns".

My sense is that holding hands while singing these songs has the same intent and meaning as the crossed arm body stance that is done by a number of historically Black Greek letter organizations and the integrated honorary band fraternity Kappa Kappa Psi.

I'm interested in identifying additional YouTube video links for arm stances for these featured fraternities and any links to YouTube videos of historically Black Greek letter sororities crossing arms.

Please add any links to these fraternities or sororities singing hymns in the comment section below. Thanks for your help in identifying these videos.

Judging by the color suit that he's wearing, the man seated at the table who stood up and gestured for others to stand while the Zetas sung, is a member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. and Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. are the only historically Black Greek letter organizations that have a formal brother/sister relationship.
