Yes you can get into legal trouble. I had some friends who went to school upstate NY, and I heard at one of those universities there had been some heads claiming to be Kappas (might have really thought they were but KAP nationals didnt think so) and from what I hear KAP nationals put up huge posters in the student center and in the student papers saying that if anyone saw these heads wearing Kappa letters or claiming to be Kappas call the national headquarters. It is copyright infringement. Fraternities and sororities own their symbols, you cant just wear AKA cause ya like pink and green. As far as saying youre a member when youre not, more than a beat down by the local chapters (depending on who youre dealing with) I figure these organizations can take legal action against you for misrepresentation. I mean people are card carrying members for a reason.
