True, but some of the changes were a little bit *less* obvious than others.

I think I'm oversensitive here because I've worked with documenting fraternities and sororities in the Philippines and most of them are not only open about where their greek letters come from, they deliberately point it out (So for example, the large Fraternity/Sorority combination of Tau Gamma Phi and Tau Gamma Sigma stand for Triskelion Grand Fraternity and Triskelion Grand Sorority and their primary symbol is the Triskelion. (Think of a Swastika with only 3 arms)
