we have started a sorority!

Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery.
Heck, look at all the similarities between Theta and Fiji. Pretty sure the Fiji's don't hate us for it.
She's 15. She wants to be a sorority girl. I would just encourage her to consider revising some symbols so she isn't getting too similar to the US counterparts. They're new, so not a big deal to change.

You can believe this all you want but some of us see it for the LIE that it truly is.

Exactly.

Missing the point. The difference is that our founders/members didn't peruse through various websites looking specifically at others' information before coming up with their own. You know exactly what is meant by "STEAL" and you know that's what happens with many of these new orgs. Why be creative and spend an extensive amount of time coming up with stuff, when you can visit websites with all the info you need?

Exactly.

Some organizations have masonic influences, not because they were scrounging around for ideas, but for other reasons.

Generally speaking, NPHC founders had information about the other NPHC organizations. They didn't need the Internet for that basic info. And they didn't confuse paying respect to an organization with stealing from an organization.

What the heck are you rolling your eyes about?

Speak for yourself and how you feel about the publicized symbols for your organization.

Speak for yourself and how you feel about the publicized symbols for your organization.

And you are speaking for yourself.

Here are some official symbols, colors, and jewels I can think of that are shared just in NPC sororities:
white (3), blue (6), green (4), red (4), pink (3), teddy bear (2), owl (2), dolphin (2), lion (2), carnations (4), roses (4), violets (3), pearl (4)
And I know more than one has the diamond as a jewel.

These are just the ones I know of off the top of my head through friends...I'm sure there are many more examples.

You're admitting that you're speaking yourself. Good.

What does that have to do with anything? This is how I know that you don't understand what we mean by "stealing." It isn't just about choosing a teddy bear or choosing a pearl.

I wish you'd do the same.

Yes, it is. Because that's all she's done.

Do the same what?

That's all she has done? Really?

And still missing the point. And actually counted the colors the orgs have in common. For real?
