Phi mu in house bunny..

Hey girls, I was just wondering if your sorority (or Fraternity) is taking any action against Sony Pictures for this blatant use of your trademarked material? I think it is horrendous how they are exploiting 2 wonderful and well established organizations. If they ripped of "coca Cola" or some other major organization; I can guarantee there would be legal repercussion. Why shoudl this be any different?
I know our Fraternity's official stance is basically we're annoyed you're using our stuff........well, now what?! Sony Pictures hasn't responded.
I am all for supporting Greek themed movies, etc; but I draw the line at a picture like this!

As far as I understand, I have not heard anything official for HQ. (I have known about this movie and the issue since January).

Unlike Zeta Tau Alpha (who have released a letter of concern), we haven't had the alleged copy cat group feature as prominently in the advertisements, etc. I only hope that during the movie they don't actually use the term "Phi Mu" at all but so far that's what they appear to be intending to do.

Honestly, I don't think it's that big of a deal. Using the names adds authenticity to the movie; I hate hearing fake Greek names in TV shows and movies, it's one of my pet peeves. The real sisters of Phi Mu represent the organization, not the characters of a screwball comedy.

And I want to see it, I think it looks like a fun movie.
