I looked at the Alpha Xi Zeta site and notice a major discrepancy besides ripping off your mascot and symbols. They say their are local, but the have a national philanthropy as well as a local one. My question is, and please don't get offended, are they trying to affiliate with AZD? If not, notify HQ and and contact the organization in question. If they want to be affiliated with Alpha Xi Delta, this is not the way to go! They should have learned the appropriate way to go about it!

I would be surprised if they are trying to affiliate, since they make such a big deal about their uniqueness.

FHQ does know about the group. I don't know what they think about it, or if they intend to do anything, but they have been informed. At this point, it is in their hands.

I think what they are saying is that the local phil is just in that area and the American Cancer Society is in, well, all of America. But combined with everything else, the way they say it does look somewhat shady.

i'm assuming that your mascot and colors and letters have special meaning to alpha xi deltas... when this group "borrowed" your things, do you think they know the true meanings behind them? Do you think they are using the same meanings? This is weird to me... (theres also a group called Pi Phi.. not Pi Beta Phi .. that is a local... yuck)

I am a axd at northern mich and we are about 2 hours from mtu. so one weekend me and some friends went up there to watch a hockey game between our schools and like the good person that i am instead of wareing a nmu shirt for our team i wore one of my AXD shirts. so i was walking around during half time and i notice that some people where giving me dirty looks. so after dealing with that some of these girls came up to me and started asking me why i was wareing there letters and that i wasnt in there there sorority so i cant be going around wearing there letters. so i told them about us and that i was visiting from another school. so after a few more dirty and a lot of explaining they got off my case about wareing there "letters". heres the good part they where so consernd about the letter in the middle that they dint even seem to notice that Z looks nothing like D......HAHAHAHA......

Wow, what is this? The "I know you are but what am I" game?

The point is, your founders didnt have enough respect for themselves to come up with their own ideas. Even if they did at one point, want to go national with Alpha Xi Delta, copying is NOT the way to do so. I wonder what YOUR secret meanings behind OUR stuff is...HAH.

Did you forget the tiny bit of info that your organization is violating copyright laws? Trust me, you dont want to screw with us when it comes to copyright laws. I speak from personal experience (aka facebook violations).

Why is it that you only have two posts? is your purpose of coming on GC to piss a bunch of people off? After all, this thread was old...did you go searching for it so you could get under people's skin? Why not have a look around in the local forum or greek life forum and get ideas or contribute, rather than harrassing us?...

Good on ya....

Let's spin this a more positive way....your interest group/local sorority was founded with an interest to join Alpha Xi Delta. Actually, I think that is quite flattering. It's rather common for locals with that intention to have similar/same colors and symbols as the national they want to affiliate with (example....Beta Sigma Chi at SPSU, which tried for 8 years to become Sigma Chi before they gave up and affilitated with another national fraternity last year).

I realize there are the NPC expansion guidelines and such, but has your local continued the desire to affilitate with Alpha Xi Delta, or any other NPC group since your founding or are you content with being local? I'm not familiar with your campus, IF your chapter wanted to affilitate, would your campus be agreeable? How do you interact with the NPC's.

I do find it somewhat disheartening that members of a local group wouldn't be aware that other groups might have similar letters...especially one they were founded to affiliate with. But then again, many students live in the bubble of their campus, so it really doesn't surprise me.
