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.

What about the incoming freshman this year? What if they see this movie and it seriously hurts our chances of meeting our quota? Then is it enough harm? Or should we feel safe enough because there is a higher likelihood that the rest of the nation would think ZTA? If the movie portrays the Zetas badly, it could certainly have an effect on the PNMs. If we did choose to be upset about this, would you think that we are as justified as ZTA, or would you say that because we are a local our concerns are not as important?

Love it.
I'm not here to argue with anyone whether the movie points toward one sorority or another, I'm only here to show that things are not always as they seem. And finally, if ZTA really is the upstanding sorority you all claim it is (that is not meant to sound sarcastic, we don't have a ZTA chapter here so I wouldn't know personally), you shouldn't have any problems. You should know that you have the pick of thousands of girls who want to join your top-notch sorority, and you shouldn't be worried OR offended by a fictional piece of work that would only change the minds of people too dumb to join anyway. Do you really want someone in your sorority who can't tell the difference between fiction and reality, and allows MTV to make their decisions for them?
