Crests or other identifying insignia involving more "creativity" are another story....
I'm not sure what the difference is between copyright and trademark laws; however, I do know that many organizations - Sigma Chi and Phi Mu being two - have registered and trademarked all their marks. This includes all insignia, their name and the Greek letters.

Here is the thread on Trademarks.
