the problem is that zta and phi mu are nationally known, within the greek community. there are a heck of a lot more non-greeks than greeks, who have no idea the names of sororities, what they stand for, that they have philanthrophies they work hard to support, and images/reputations they try hard to keep untarnished.

it does bother me that zeta alpha zeta goes by "zeta" in the movie, that they have "zeta" above their door, and that the "e" conveniently falls off the house, leaving the letters "z t a", in turquiose, up. add to the fact that the movie phi mu's are linked with pink, and the argument that this is all just coincidence starts to pale.

its not very difficult to research national sororities and fraternities. we tell pnms to do this all the time, but we can cut a huge movie studio some slack, because it would be too hard, or take too long? it would take one person an hour or less to make sure these coincidences don't happen, by doing a little research.

so, those of you non-zetas, please don't discount our feelings when we share them with you. you might feel differently if your organizations nickname, colors and what not had coincidentally turned up in a movie.
