Yes it makes complete sense to trade claimed sorority secrets on The Little Mermaid with people whose sorority membership cannot be verified.

Internet > brain cells

Sounds a little fishy to me!

You will find the answers to the mysteries of which you speak if you study the mermaid with the turquoise tail.

No one should ask for secrets to be revealed via the internet, not should anyone reveal secrets over the internet.

Wait, wait, wait…

Walt Disney cheated on his Theta daughters with Zetas?

Inconceivable!

You should ask your chapter sisters or other ZTAs IRL. I have heard from other ZTAs, though, that there are ZTA symbols in The Little Mermaid. It may just be a coincidence, but you should rewatch with some sisters and see what you can pick out.

Congrats on your initiation, and remember not to ask people for sorority secrets online!

This has been discussed (without identifying any purported secrets) on GC many times, but here's the thing: the claim always seems to be either that "the writer" or "the animator" was a ZTA who put ZTA symbols or secrets in. Well, according to IMDb, The Little Mermaid had 6 writers (not counting Hans Christian Andersen), and all were men. So that seems to rule out a ZTA writer putting any ZTA secrets in the script.

The movie would have had many animators, most of whom likely would not have had much freedom to add symbols, at least not with the prominence that is often claimed. Those things would have been overseen, I think, by the 16 or so storyboard artists and visual development artists, only 1 of whom per IMDb, Brenda Chapman, was female—and she is a graduate of CalArts, which has no Greek life.

So . . . . Coincidence and urban legend?

But they do have a lot of 5 pointed crowns in the movie. To be fair, we had a rumor that Beauty and The Beast had an AOII tie in when it came out. That's why it had the red rose featured in the story. Collegians will grasp for anything. I later saw the same claim for Phi Sig. LOL.
