If we are going to make generalizations like that, how do you know that people wont mistake us for SDT or another Jewish sorority that we dont even know about. We've done the best to forge our own identity, but we cant be held responsible for other peoples mistakes, can we? We can only be held accountable for our own.

I understand your point, but no one would mistake your group for SDT cuz obviously its letters are not in it. I know its not a majority but many times when a group may separate from a group that it use to be, it will at times keep its same letters but either add or subtract one. For instance at a school I know of their a fraternity use to be a chapter of Sigma Nu. But after disaffilating with them, they are now called Sigma Nu Chi. In seeing your orgs. name its only going to be natural for many people to assume that you are or were in some way associated with AEPi and/or AEPhi which as everyone knows are generalized as being historically Jewish. So I think that many people wouldnt want another group to have letters that are similar to theirs (even though sometimes this may be impossible) and many nationals would want disaffilated chapters to change them after they leave (not saying that SAEPi disaffiliated from any group).
To get to my main point...lets stop the going back and forth. We've got
4 DAYS until the big show airs. Lets watch it, (and I know most of us will, I even had a girl at work come up to me about it and she even thinks it could trouble and she has definately stated that she just couldn't go greek..)and see what happens. We will see whether they do "haze" or not and etc. Zuma I am not saying that your org does, but you are an alum and as many of us know...things change after we go alum. Again, Lets just watch people.
