I watched the sorority grow and the type of people who joined before deciding. I knew a couple of non-chapter alum and a few of the alum from our chapter before making the decision to rush. I'm very glad I did. I wouldn't trade my sisters for anyone in the world.

I don't know about that. Historically, Disney has been very protective of any unauthorized use of any its characters.

I would think after 17 years of being in existence, Disney would have noticed it though. Unless the symbol was added recently...
Which brings me to the point I just can't hold in any longer - what kind of sorority can take itself seriously with a cartoon character as its symbol? I mean, really??? Sounds like the clubs I used to start in my backyard when I was in middle school...

This made me laugh.
I don't get why people feel that it's necessary to take someone else's symbol and claim it as theirs, you know?

It felt kinda harsh to say, but I felt a little better knowing I probably wasn't the only one who felt this way  And yeah, I agree - not to say Ariel is Zeta's or anything, but the fact that it's copyrighted should have been enough to say, let's choose something else girls. How about an object or something else NOT most likely copyrighted like the other sororities do?

Not necessarily, given that this is a local sorority.

LOL. I had that same question.
But seriously . . . middle school? I would have thought you'd leave Disney Princesses at elementary school.

And I'm also guessing the website hasn't been up all these years, either. Other than the internets, how would Disney have known?

You said they were VERY strict - if so, don't they have little Disney spies everywhere...?
LOL. I had that same question.

LOL. Even The Mouse can't be everywhere. That's why The Mouse needs help.

Well thank the lord for wonderful infringement rights. Like school plays that are based on grease or romeo and juliet and all those fun storylines. We pay the company to allow us to promote their product and in turn we get benefits.

ETA: I just realized after reading the rest of this thread now that you weren't offering to pay, you're saying that you actually do pay? That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard of. I hope Disney sues the pants off your ignorant asses.
