I agree with my fellow War Eagle (:D ). Make sure your letters have a meaning, and they arn't just letters that you think look good together!

Yes, I realize this.

Maybe down the road..
but I won't be there then.

I think alot of people on the board think you are planning on affiliating with Sigma Kappa, since you are modeling SKEPi so closely after SK. It's like if I started Delta Gamma Alpha, some would assume I plan to affiliate with Delta Gamma.

No.. no.. no!

We are no emulating Sigma Kappa. Our intentions is not to affiliate with NPC. We are a local sorority.

The history, colors, all that stuff... are being chosen by the current sisters. We are doing it ourselves. From scratch.

For the love of everything beautiful-

We are creating a social women's group in the hopes of someday becoming a sorority on our campus.

I know Sigma Kappa is copywrited and to call ourself that, you can't. SKEPi is not being used by NPC or any other chapted. I e.mailed them and they told me so.

We may use Sigma Kappa eirini Pi.

I don't know if the Mount Ida girls are still here....

But: seems to me you would choose your motto first (probably in English), then translate it into Greek, and there are your letters. That's what the existing NPC groups did.

The motto -- those special words that bind you in sisterhood -- is more important than finding letters that "look good" together.

BTW, IIRC Mt. Ida is a two-year college. Are NPC groups allowed at two-year schools? (Someone asked the Mt. Ida girls if they were going to petition NPC.)

LMAO!!! :p

Our motto isn't in greek, but in latin. We orignally started out as SDF but that was quickly changed once the founders saw that someone already had that name to the new name SDT . I don't know how SDT was chosen however.

I don't know if the girls are around who wanted to emulate SK, but I am a bit offended that they said they see themselves as an SK.

I'm a Sigma Kappa and those letters mean a great deal of pride to me, not something that looks cute together. I feel that these ladies should choose a name tht doesn't look so close to my sorority.

I mean I don't see wh they're taking my first two letters :-(

Oh well-- Good luck Mt. Ida, I hope you changed the name.

Welcome to the party. You joined us late but this thread from the summer still has me scratching my head. Go do a search bec it came up on more than one board and get ready for a wild, wild ride.....

DGMarie,

I am about to embark on that ride. Wish me luck.

<scratches head>

I'm confused and a bit disheartened. Wonder whatever happened.
