Hi there localsororities...
There are a few things in our culture that have been influenced by a person's affiliation to a GLO. For example, Hallmark uses the crown as it's symbol because the wife of a previous CEO was/is a Zeta Tau Alpha. I also remember reading something about the symbol on Campbell soup cans (the little gold circle at the very top) having to do with a GLO... for some reason I think it was Kappa Delta or Delta Zeta???
Then there are the movies. A Zeta Tau Alpha was involved with the making of The Little Mermaid and therefore there are symbols used in the movie that are related to their organization. There are also things in there that only ZTA's would know about.
I have also heard that Dr. Zeuss' wife is a Sigma Kappa and that in the original cartoon, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, there are things that only SK's would know. Of course I have seen Jim Carrey's The Grinch, and as a Sigma Kappa I didn't see anything exciting. However, it has been a long time since I have seen the cartoon. Also, if there is anyone out there that has heard of the movie "Mystic Pizza" with Julia Roberts, supposedly the director or producer was/is a Sigma Kappa and therefore might explain certain things in the movie, like the wedding colors...I think they wore lavender (one of our colors).
Anyway, I can't think of anything else. If I do I'll be sure to post it. I hope this is of some interest to you.
