I was able to find the IM handle for one of the founders of the Sorority Glam group. I had a very pleasant IM conversation with her for about an hour or so.

Key points.
1)She was willing to change the crest if I wanted to, but I told her not to do that until after I posted to this webboard about it.

2) I was *not* able to put into words *why* this mattered to me, and we really haven't done that good of a job here on the board, and she deserves that

3) The other founder apparently found the crest *scrubbed* of the interior on a board somewhere, I'm going to IM the other founder (probably Monday Night) to see if I can find that out.

4) I gave the Sorority Glam founder the URL for this thread so that she can see what we come up with.

5) She is currently in graduate school to be a Veterinarian. (Did undergrad at a school that has APO, but she wasn't familiar with it)

I don't understand why we should have to provide reasons for her to not use a trademarked image. And just because it was altered when she found it doesn't make it any less disrespectful to members of this fraternity.

Rashid, I completely agree.

IT'S OURS AND MEANS SOMETHING TO US, NOT PUBLIC DOMAIN FOR EVERYONE TO USE. I don't know what more she needs to know than that.

Since it's a trademarked image, can APO HQ issue a cease and desist? (Not a clue how that works.)

Probably so. I am also not sure how it works, but it definitely looks like trademark infringement or something.

why does she feel we owe her a reason for taking down something that doesn't belong to her?

and if she's reading this here's why it matters -
Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity was founded in 1925 by 14 illustrious young men who wanted to see a change in the world in which they lived. Since 1925 we have become the nation's largest student service organization and not only exist in the US but around the world. You want to know why this means something? Because it is a visual, emotional and TRADEMARKED image of our Fraternity. Deal with it.
