I can't say that I blame you for not wanting to be part of an organization whose motto is 'No Ugly People Allowed'... even in French or any other language that is kinda mean

Regarding groups who closely mimic national organiations, I am pretty sure that is unlawful. There are a couple of groups (Sigma Kappa, and Alpha Xi Delta to name a few) that have had locals using their name/symbols/etc and I'm sure the national orgs do take action against them in some form or fashion because they need to protect their name.

If for example, this Kappa Gamma group was a bunch of booze-drinking, hazing lunatics, they are giving Kappa Kappa Gamma a bad name because they are using their name/symbols/etc and may be falsly representing the national organization. I'm not a lawyer, so I don't know how that works, but I would imagine someone at Kappa Gamma needs a stern talkin' to
