Fake group on Facebook
 

I thought I'd cross-post this thread to here in hopes of getting more input. Apparently this group is still active and still an issue.

How do you get something like this removed? I don't have facebook so I don't know what they'll do in situations like this.

I reported it as "attacking a group or individual." I guess it's also technically "an inappropriate picture," using the crest like that.

:mad: That makes me angry.

Also, if you were starting your own fraternity or sorority as a joke, wouldn't you make up your own letters to spell something funny that no GLO would have, like Kappa Epsilon Gamma, or Alpha Sigma Sigma, or Gamma Delta Iota? How dumb do you have to be to take someone else's letters?

I'm pretty sure the creator of the group and the members aren't aware that Alpha Sigma Alpha is an actual sorority. Not everyone has the same exposure.

I reported it as well.

I reported it as well. What I don't get is why they chose ASA when there are gazillions of other Greek letter combinations out there they could have used for their fake GLO.

I'd be inclined to agree with you except...they stole the logo/crest from one of ASA's actual chapters. (You can see the Beta Iota chapter designation on the top.) In order to pilfer the graphic, they must have went to the actual chapter's website.

I dunno, ask these guys "The SSS"
They're classy. :rolleyes:

Touché.

I reported it as well. Hopefully the Facebook admins will receive enough complaints and take action.

I reported it as well and pointed out that ASA's name and crest are trademarked. figured if I mentioned that maybe the idea of a potential lawsuit would get into facebook's head.

Gag. I reported this one, too, for what it's worth.

Appreciated, I've done it too

Facebook doesn't seem to react very quickly to reports. I reported a sleazy group attacking the women in one Gamma Phi chapter, and I think it's still there.

Hopefully, if enough people report it, they'll get tired of the complaints and remove it...

I reported it also! Maybe if they get a flood of requests they will do something!

I always think it's funny when people start their own sororities/ fraternities...esp. when they are too stupid to check it out and see if the organization they are trying to "begin" is already established....Wow!!! I'm reporting both groups because I think that is extremely disrespectful...

Thanks so much you guys...you are awesome!

I reported both of the groups, too. Hope it helps.

i reported it as well... thats such BS....

I reported the fake ASA group as well. I was going to report the fake Tri-Sig group too, but I think Facebook removed it! Yay!

I think the fake Tri Sigma one is gone. I reported the ASA one because it's still there. Isn't Nora Ten Broeck on facebook? She needs to report it and threaten them.

yea i cant see the tri sigma group so maybe its gone?? hopefully the ASA group will be gone soon too!

WHOO HOO!

I politely messaged the owner of the Sigma group and asked her to take it down. After I pointed out the national website she complied :)

Yay for diplomacy on the internet!

Unfortunately, since Facebook didn't take it down, I dunno what the odds are of the ASA group getting removed are.
