I think that Tri Delta did sue them. They used ZTA's name too, and of course there were hosts that wore their letter sweatshirts (John Goodman - Sig Ep and Rob Morrow - TKE) and participated in the skits.

Personally, I thought they were hilarious. I think most sorority members with senses of humor did. SNL just shouldn't have used a real name - the skit would have been just as funny.

ETA: I looked on hulu (where all the SNL clips are) and can't find it.

If I had a nickel for everytime someone said that to me since I joined in 2007 I'd probably have about 5 dollars.

Didn't ZTA recently trademark the letters "ZTA"? I remember reading something about it on the girl who is the chapter president at my school.

The vast majority of us have our letters trademarked, and have for decades, hence the need for Greek Licensing. We have Alpha Gamma Delta, Alpha Gam, our Coat of Arms, and the greek letters of Alpha Gamma Delta all trademarked. (I don't believe that list is all inclusive either).
