I believe Greek Life as a whole is a great thing, but we're kidding ourselves if we are telling people drinking never happens, or we never disagree about anything, or no one judges the other groups. Even those not in groups judge them.
And if someone could please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought NPHC Zeta Phi Beta's refer to themselves as "Zetas". Is ZTA going to get all upset about that? Or do they not count because ZPhiB is a national org? Locals use "Zeta" all the time.
On my first campus for example, there was a local, Zeta Phi Omicron that referred to themselves as "Zetas". One of their colors was also turquoise. And no, they weren't trying to copy ZTA. For over 15 years they existed and didn't even know who ZTA was until the school wanted them to affiliate with NPCs and they started reading up about the NPC orgs.

I think ZTA is upset because of the use of Zeta AND similar colours. If House Bunny ZETA used, say, blue and silver, they probably wouldn't be as upset.
By the way: Remember the movie Pumpkin? The sorority in the movie was Alpha Omega Pi - AOPi for short. What did Alpha OMICRON Pi have to say about that?
