While I can sort of agree that yes, many groups have trademarked letters/names... why would you do something like that? I think it would be bad PR for say, Pi Kappa Phi for example, to pursue such a thing... but that's just my opinion...
Just as MSTUGurl said, while your letters and meanings are special to you, the other group holds the same letters, and different meanings special to them as well... it's not like they are claiming to be part of the national organization... they clearly state they are not affiliated. and it's just like i mentioned before... perhaps they didn't know another organization called Pi Kappa Phi existed in the first place. They were founded just 4 years after the national organization, and being it was a LONG time ago, I don't think they named their organization the same thing on purpose because greek letter organizations probably weren't as big then as they are now
