Dawson Creek connection?

[moe.ron]

One of our brothers send us this e-mail that is pretty funny. Not the fact that he watch Dawson Creek (that is a different thread) but the fact that, well read the e-mail:

Not sure if any one here actually watches this show but it was brought to my attention recently that one of the characters is joining a fraternity called Sigma Epsilon. I did some on-line research and found the following entry. It's from a Q & A page on the Dawson's Creek web site. I'm just wondering if there's any REAL connection between the fictional organization and our own.

Enjoy,

MARIE: Hey there Jason are you feeling like an empty nester now that Anna has gone on to bigger and better things? Anyway I can't help notice that the name of the frat (nee Fraternity) Jackers wants to join bears a striking resemblence to a real frat (Sigma Phi Epsilon). However the nickname for that particular fraternity is Sig Ep as opposed to Sigma Ep. Is this a done
on purpose?

JASON: Yet another clearance question, Marie. We were given specific instructions that we had to say "Sigma Ep" and not "Sig Ep" because the latter referred to a real fraternity. We actually had to replace a line of dialogue because one of the "day players" at the party kept saying "Sig Ep" and no one caught it until the editing room.
