Delta Chi shares 3/4 of its principles with Delta Upsilon verbatim.
Delta Upsilon also shares its colors (blue and old gold) along with 3 of it's principle (Friendship, Justice, and Learning --ie diffusion of liberal culture) with Sigma Chi.
How many fraternities have a knight's helmet and balanced scales on their crests? How many fraternities use a skull or a skull and crossbones? Exactly. A lot.
I think greeks tend to get this overwhelming sense of pride in to which organization they belong. Granted, we do have a lot to be proud of. However, often we forget that out mottos/creeds and colors are often very encompassing and commonplace. Blue and gold, blue and white, red and black are far too common to say anyone explicitly copied them. True, the posted group does have a lot in common with ADPi, but without knowing them, the sense of outrage is unwarranted.
