my main question is....she quoted the kappa delta norman shield frequently. doesn't she need to get permission to publish that in her book? it is great and all that she credited the source, but how can she just publish portions of someone else's book without their permission? even tho it is a new member manual and not a novel, shouldn't it be copyrighted? and if she didn't get permission, does kd have some rights to sue?

You don't know that she didn't get permission.
Additionally, kappadelta.org seems to list publicly a whole bunch of Acrobat files making up the Norman Shield on their website.
Finally, in any case the publisher of the book itself is fairly large and its parent company is a Time Warner company. The chances that their extensive legal teams didn't make sure everything was okay are very-slim to none.
