Yes it makes complete sense to trade claimed sorority secrets on The Little Mermaid with people whose sorority membership cannot be verified.

Internet > brain cells

You are putting us on, right?

Sounds a little fishy to me!
:p

You will find the answers to the mysteries of which you speak if you study the mermaid with the turquoise tail. :D

No one should ask for secrets to be revealed via the internet, not should anyone reveal secrets over the internet.

Wait, wait, wait…

Walt Disney cheated on his Theta daughters with Zetas?

Inconceivable!

You should ask your chapter sisters or other ZTAs IRL. I have heard from other ZTAs, though, that there are ZTA symbols in The Little Mermaid. It may just be a coincidence, but you should rewatch with some sisters and see what you can pick out. :) Congrats on your initiation, and remember not to ask people for sorority secrets online!

This has been discussed (without identifying any purported secrets) on GC many times, but here's the thing: the claim always seems to be either that "the writer" or "the animator" was a ZTA who put ZTA symbols or secrets in. Well, according to IMDb, The Little Mermaid had 6 writers (not counting Hans Christian Andersen), and all were men. So that seems to rule out a ZTA writer putting any ZTA secrets in the script.

The movie would have had many animators, most of whom likely would not have had much freedom to add symbols, at least not with the prominence that is often claimed. Those things would have been overseen, I think, by the 16 or so storyboard artists and visual development artists, only 1 of whom per IMDb, Brenda Chapman, was female—and she is a graduate of CalArts, which has no Greek life.

So . . . . Coincidence and urban legend?

But they do have a lot of 5 pointed crowns in the movie. To be fair, we had a rumor that Beauty and The Beast had an AOII tie in when it came out. That's why it had the red rose featured in the story. Collegians will grasp for anything. I later saw the same claim for Phi Sig. LOL.

I don't know about "secrets" but when it comes to open symbols, this movie seems more connected to Tri-Delt.

Maybe they were miztas.

Men interested in ZTA.

LMAO I slay me.

Ursula only sent out Hallmark cards. That's how you know ZTA had something to do with it.

You slay us all.

I didn't laugh out loud but I did groan appreciatively. :)

Incontheevable! ;)

So this means that no one on here will tell me what the snake pit at Sigma Kappa rituals is used for? Dang it. :rolleyes:

Everyone in the NPC knows about The Pit Of Despair.

As to the reason ZTA's wear a Crown during their MAWWIAGE...;)

It's funny but it seems that even fraternities have these rumors as well...Robert Redford is a Kappa Sigma and we were always told about certain movies where he supposedly used "secret kappa sigma hand signals" and stuff, but those too were merely legends...

The only "known" public revealing of some initiation stuff can be found in the Steppenwolf song "Magic Carpet Ride"....this has a good deal of interest to Lambda Chi Alphas.

In all the movies ever made I'm sure there can always be found "something" that may have meaning to some organization if you look hard enough....most of what I've ever noticed would deal more with FreeMasonry than anything else.

:p

It bwings them togevuh. But the Fire Swamp is reserved for AOIIs, amirite? And the ROUSSES are renegade AGDs. Squirrels gone to the dark side, you know. And there's the ADPi Violet Volcano. Don't forget about that.

What else have you guys figured out?

Nope, that's another coincidence morphed into Greek Urban Legend. None of the members of Steppenwolf were Lambda Chis. John Kay, who wrote "Magic Carpet Ride," didn't go to college. (Ditto the other members, I think.)

More on "Magic Carpet Ride" and Lambda Chi.

I did not know this....thanks for the clarity. I never researched it since it deals with "secrets" and figured that had I done so I wouldn't get far since I wasn't member. I'm glad someone from their org did clear things up. (I know a friend of mine who is an LXA played the song at his wedding with all his brothers dancing around.....I don't think he's read this article either! He'll be bummed for sure!
