OMFG, THE KAPPA PHI CHI MASCOT IS ARIEL, THE LITTLE MERMAID. TEARS.

yeah our page hasn't been updates yet though so the upsilons and the phi's aren't on there =( or at least not since I checked.

I think this might be the school where pretty much all the local sororities have Disney characters or other similar things (like the Pink Panther) as mascots.

The main bad thing about it is the copyright infringement lawsuit potential.

My major gripe with the site is that it doesn't say what school this is at!!

You really don't want to say things like this in a public forum.

It's darling. Don't change it.

I meant to say I had to write the paper. But I changedit anyways just in case. Thnx for the heads up =)

Poor oldu...try to start a decent thread and then this happens. :rolleyes:

GreekPages to the rescue.

And apparently Gamma Beta Delta at that school uses Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbes).

I hope Disney and Bill Watterson don't find out.

Some ZTA chapters use Ariel because of the thing about our symbols being hidden in the Little Mermaid. But definitely has a high potential for copyright infringement. There's some other things I have to say about it but I think I'll leave that business to PMs ;)

On the other hand, don't a lot of DG chapters use Raggedy Ann - I'm sure the copyright argument could be used there as well...

Whoa, Greek Pages back up???!!! :)

ETA: Wrong site :(

DG's official mascot is named Hannah, and is usually depicted as being similar to Raggedy Ann, but is not Raggedy Ann for copyright purposes. For this same reason, many ASA chapters stopped using the Raggedy Ann as our mascot.

did you mean Gamma Beta Delta not Gamma Phi Beta? One of my close friends and ex-co-worker is a sister in that sorority

But the difference is that the NPC sororities typically say Raggedy Ann is an "unofficial" mascot (ASA uses her too, don't they?). This group (Brooklyn College, btw, thanks, MC ;)) says that its mascot IS Ariel. I do wonder how the licensing people at Disney would view its unauthorized use for the last 17 years...

I did. Thanks.

We still do, but just not as much as we used to.

Probably not a blip on their screen. I'm no expert, but it seems to me that, in the past, organizations ran into trouble when they became large enough to be "commercial" in the sense that paraphernalia companies make lots of money off them and, thus, the trademarks.
