GRSSK - could it be any more obvious.

Ok,
I guess that this is the highest form of flattery...
But they are the "Zetas"... and just take a look at the crest - see some things that are similar? Namely the crown and its placement as well as using our flower. Even the stars have 5 points...uhhh


You should also look at the crest in the TV show because it is different - but even more similar to ours - including the Crown at the top, the "guard", the shape, and the way the symbols are situated. They recently switched to this crest for the public part.

I think the flower is actually a lily.

Tippie would be right... I see a few similarities but enough differences to not feel ripped off. The two stars point to KAT in my mind, the lions to Phi Mu or ADPi or even SAEPi. It seems they just made a modge-podge of everyone so it's equal-opportunity stealing I guess.

The kitty-cats geek me out....{{{shudder}}}

[ZTA326]

Oh my gosh I was thinking that ZBZ was ZTA too!!! Don'tget me wrong, I love the show sorry lol. Before it aired, I was so against it haha but now I am addicted :-X but I honestly was feeling like it was ZTA.

For one there is the 5-pointed crown. Then I noticed a lot of similar lingo like TLC and quarom, perhaps these are standard in all orgs, I am not sure. Then they have a candlelight ceremony, which we do.

What is with all these different medias wanting to emmulate ZTA?!?! Haha I know we're the best & all but come on

Is this the show "Greek" from ABC Family?

Do you mean "Quorum"? Quorum is a term used in Robert's Rules of Order, which outlines proper parliamentary procedure.

Quorum is the set number of members who must be present in order to conduct official business. Many orgs use "majority", others use a percentage, etc., to set the quorum figure.

The acronym "TLC" is pretty common, standings for "The Leadership Conference". Not sure if that is what is used in GRSSK, but I know that more than just greek orgs use the phrase.

I believe TLC in Greek stands for "Traveling Leadership Consultant."

I definitely think someone on the show's writing staff is Greek because of little details like the TLC, but I don't think they based it off one organization in particular.

[SthrnZeta]

Although I see several similarities, I think ZBZ is kind of a modge podge of sorority stuff, but definitely would assume it's someone who is actually greek. ZAZ, ZBZ, who's to say the House Bunny didn't rip off Greek?

[ZetaGirl22]

Nahh I dont think Greek is ripping off ZTA. I will, however painfully admit, that I am addicted to this show. I rolled my eyes every time I saw commericals for the show when it came out, but watched one episode and got hooked. Its in NO MEANS realistic, but its so gosh darn cute....................cant help it LOL.

[PhenomenalZTA]

Don't feel bad. I know it's wrong, but I'm totally hooked on it too. The new season starts on Tuesday at 9pm est!
