The "G" (Groove not Gamma)
During the 1960's, the word "groove" was
popular among young Blacks. The letter G, is meant to acknowledge
the belief in a higher power that is infinite. In this realization
we say:
God Rules Over Our Victorious Existence
Promoting Honor and Integrity
Goals Reached Out Of Valor and Endurance
The "Phi"
In Secrets of the Great Egyptians, Peter
Thompkins tells us that the Khemit people of Africa (ancient
Egyptians) originated "Phi" as a symbol of the creative
function of the male reproductive system and more loosely
as "reproduction in endless series". It was a symbolic representation
of "the fire of life". This symbol of fertility was adopted
in our name to stand for our continual growth and development.
Our Phi should in no way be confused with the Greek symbol
Phi, which takes on the same look but a totally different
meaning.
The "Colors"
Our Founders attributed the significance
of the letters and colors of Groove Phi Groove to African
American's economic, political, and social living conditions.
The colors black and white have the principle importance
to the Fellowship by symbolizing the idea of balancing forces
of good and evil in life |
