Second, most of our organizations reserve the right to authorize the use of their name/service marks/trademarks/copyrighted materials/patents outside of Greek Licensing if someone obtains the permission of the (inter)national office in question. I don't know if the person who started this thread has persmission of anyone's national office, but we can't make any assumptions without finding out what they are doing and who they are.
Finally, Calixta, I am curious what you want the crests for and if you have the permission of the groups to use them in your "piece," whatever that may be.

What if this person isn't trying to sell something? Then do they need permission? What if it's artwork? People use insignias and logos and modify them under freedom of speech laws every day. And the funniest part? If this person wanted, they could find any seal and logo on the internet probably. It's not a secret is it?
