Hi epchick - I'm not sure I understand this statement. I don't know that it's general knowledge that you teach and/or are somehow affliated with the school. At least I didn't know... and I'm pretty sure there are many others who didn't know that.

Yes, this group did call themselves the Adelphean Society originally (why they call themselves "new" instead of Nu, I don't know however). The group was started to eventually become affiliated with an NPC. When they started they wanted to be affiliated with ADPi, thus why they called themselves the Adelphean Society. When I got back to campus, the GL advisor at the time (an AGD btw, who some on GC know personally) had me talk to them. They are very sweet girls who obviously were just a little misguided.
They aren't like the Kappa Kappa Gamma copycats who just want to use the names, symbols, etc just to use them. They do really want to be affiliated with an NPC. They did change their name to New Delta, and i'm pretty sure I know their reasons why. I didn't know that their motto and things were the same as ADPi, and I might speak to the current GL advisor about it tomorrow at our AP meeting.

Personally, I don't see a difference between copying names/symbols/mottos/etc "just to use them" and 'because they really want to be affiliated with an NPC". To many people, copying is copying, plain & simple.
It's been discussed many times over when groups like this come up- copying symbols/mottos/etc is not going to get the group the kind of attention they are looking for.
