On the other hand, most people will see ZETA in turquoise and think ZTA who has used the name ZETA and the color turquoise in its chapters all over the US for 100 years. There is a higher likelihood that they will be identified as the chapter in the movie not ZTZ. So, cut ZTA some slack for being a little upset.

They clearly use our colors and our nickname and ZTZ has only been around since 1926 - ZTA since 1898. We're far more widely known than a small local chapter and I seriously doubt anyone outside of Oxy's area would think of ZTZ before ZTA, especially with the many "coincidences" in this movie.






And those are just from the preview... who knows what all is in the movie.
