Why is Groove non-Greek?
It is by choice that we associate ourselves by this Afrocentric paradigm as opposed to a Greek model. History tells us that when the Greeks came to Africa 2,500 years ago, the Kemetic Civilization was already ancient. At that time, the Greeks sat at the feet of the teachers of the Egyptian mystery schools to learn what the Africans already knew. These students never made it to the top of the Egyptian mystery schools, however, and so never totally understood the science, symbols, religion, etc. Unfortunately, the descendants of these students returned as conquerors to destroy cities, temples, and an entire social and academic structure. Our founders wanted to establish a new style of organization that was created for and commanded by Black people. They did not want to glorify the blatant thievery of African culture by placing Greek letters on their chests. Again, Groove was founded to combat the current fraternal establishment.
