She told me to worry about recruiting members, so I did. So at first when we heard the rumblings of Sigma Kappa I went to the Greek Life advisor but he didnt want to help us he wanted to expand the campus so he saw this as his opportunity as well for him (just newly hired) to look really good. So as soon as we realized Hey we can take charge of our sorority and stand up to this we did. and then when Sigma Kappa went to our Greek Life advisor I think he had an oh shit moment and stepped in to help us.

You are right though and we have all kicked ourselves into not having a say in the colors and such. Again when someone says she is trying to help you build a sisterhood even if she can't be a sister, you would want to belive her.
Huh? I thought you said you were the founder. But someone else came up with your colors, symbols, mottoes and ideals? How were you involved in the founding, then? Sounds like you just recruited members to an organization this mystery Sigma Kappa founded.

It's like there's a Deep Throat of Sigma Kappa.

(I mean this in Watergate terms.)

Oh no.... you soooo didn't go there.

ETA: so besides the original Beta Epsilon, and SKEPi, have there been any other notable copycats? Are there any out there right now? Not just of Sigma Kappa, but of any GLO. I recall someone saying they saw a ZTA copycat at one point, but my searches aren't turning anything up.

Like I said before I was linked up with this person by our greek life advisor, when I went to him when things sounded weird we were told to go with it because we had no clue about greek life. and AGAIN when we realized what was going on we changed everything that very same day. We held a meeting and took some very painfull issues to vote.

As far as having members for us you have no clue what we look for in a sister, our requirements and what we look for are somewhat diffrent from our other chapter as we are in a diffrent environment.

As far as AI, I am not going to answer to those comments as our chapter is obviously inexperianced with that subject.

Anybody else feel comfortable in here?

Then please don't recomment AI to other people when you have no clue what you're talking about.

Alpha Xi Zeta at Michigan Tech? I recall reading about this local on GC at some point, but I couldn't find the thread. Their old website (from a year or two ago) really made them seem like a blantant ripoff of the Alpha Xi Delta, but they've changed their website recently.

Still sketchy.


ETA: found the thread about Alpha Xi Zeta: http://www.greekchat.com/gcforums/sh...ad.php?t=19822

Judas on a Vespa - could they have found a more illegible font? Could the site load a little more slowly - I have a few grey hairs that haven't come in yet.

Yeah, they seem kind of all around obnoxious!

LOL@Judas on a Vespa!! That font is so bad it should't even be a choice anywhere. Looks like I wrote it with my left foot.

Could it be a philanthropy that's local to their area, and one that's for the whole country? My local had both.

Well, their site isn't COMPLETELY like ours was...but they do still refer to themselves as "fuzzies" -- which is fine, they can keep that nickname (y'all know how I feel about that!). But they also say their masco is "Al Fuzzy." Hmmm...

Agreed w/ the above post, still sketchy, particularly the "Al Fuzzie" mascot.
