Legal Reasons
* By using the name of the group, you are perpetuating yourselves as a member of that group. Even if there was an "interest group" tacked on, you're still giving the image as being sanctioned and a part of the bigger group, regardless of whether or not you actually are. This creates HUGE liability issues
*Trademark/copyright infringement- most groups have their symbols, name, etc. registered as trademarks/copyrights, etc. Only members of the group may use them. This is also why people who manufacture products with GLO names on it, etc. must be licensed
Nonlegal reasons
* It's presumptuous.
* It's disrespectful to the members of the organization.
* It creates problems if you end up not becoming a part of that group.
