"Before the back and forth debate begins let me make it clear that we ( Phi Beta Sigma) first used the cane in STEPPING. It wasnt stated that we were twirling them or not. We dont want any parties to be offended due to a missing piece of info."

"@KZbluphi3
I truly believe that the debate of who has the cane first has begun before your comment was posted."

"If you wish to have this discussion with a much older historian, let me know! I have no disses for Kappas, yal do what you do and amazing twirling (some of you) but it bothers me when yal diss, it shows that you have something to prove. Now, I can prove facts, but have no reason to..because I chose not to diss. I can show where many orgs have borrowed from another. Please hav confidence in yourself and let this rest. Be flattered someone took notice at twirling as you did in us steppin with them"

"i hope i dont get curse out for this...but im not a kappa nor sigma but i do know about the argument about who first step with the cane...sigmas say they did...kappas say they did...its one history's word vs the next...no one can prove who did it first so just kill the noise...cant prove it then just kill it...cause at the end of the day both frat history books say they did it first...thats like asking which came first the egg or the chicken..its a debate that can keep going on and on"

"but that doesn't exclude the fact that sigmas were the first to use them. So your point is pointless to say you got these nupes running around here saying the opposite that initially they were the first to ever use canes but keep it 100 what it really comes down to is bitting another org style in creativity and then calling it yall own like yall have some kind of ownership

“Nupes” is a referent for members of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity, Inc."

"I go by the facts and the fact of the matter is that the kappas don't have substantial evidence to even show that they were ever the first to use cane's. Sigma's have documentation as well as physical evidence. [profanity deleted] how you feel cause at the end of the day the truth will speak for itself so when kappas be coming at me with they the first I just laugh and keep twirling my CANĪ£ in they face. Im cool with those that aren't sensitive like [profanity deleted] what you crying for its just a stick calm your panty's"
