Of course not. I didn't mean it any more literally than I said it -- encouraging members to honor the pledges that they have made: "We expect you to honor the pledges and commitments you have made to ____ Fraternity," not "We expect you to honor the pledges and commitments you have made to appreciate and revere the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."
As far as copying symbols, there are actually plenty of symbols that aren't associated with any national fraternity (especially when you take into account how many fraternities share some of the same symbols). Unless, of course, you're talking about esoteric symbols, and then yeah, no one else would know.
