There is a sorority Alpha Phi and an honorary Alpha Phi. Generally, it's a courtesy not to use the letters of other groups, but if they are different sorts of orgs it may happen.

Unfortunately, this other group is the Alpha - of their Zeta Sigma Phi, and since they didn't seem to copy you otherwise, there is not much you can do unless they willingly change their letters. If they aren't geographically near you, you couldn't prove they cause confusion in the "consumer's" (aka rushee's) mind.

There is a sorority at Michigan Tech called Alpha Xi Zeta, founded in 1985. Their flower is the pink rose, their mascot is "Al Fuzzie the teddy bear," their nickname is the Fuzzies, and their colors are blue and pink. It's obvious they copied Alpha Xi Delta very closely, but as far as I know, we have no legal recourse.
