Sometimes information is passed in a way that sharing it verbatim is not an option. At times information is shared that may not be suitable for public consupmtion. An attorney is required to maintain a client confidence when information is shared.

Fair enough - I just was wondering if it was a post that I missed or
an email that I wasn't included in...ya know...

If it was something that I could read - I would have been curious
to the strength of wording, etc...

I've been watching all this from the sidelines. I am sure everyone wants to know how this will be resolved, unfortunately, this little battle will probably be solved and we will be none the wiser as to what happened. If IHQ gets involved, they will hopefully force them to cease from using the image. At the very worst, they will remove the image from their webpage, but out of spite keep using it. Honestly would any of us have been aware of it had it not been on a website? I would love to see them be forced to pay monetary fines in association to the misuse of the image, but it won't go that far.

One of the alumni from my chapter attempted to contact the band. He was very careful in his choice of words, which is not his usual approach. He refrained from vulgarity. This is the bands final reply to him:
"we didnt CHOOSE your crest, dumbfuck.
we created our own and it happens to be similar to yours.

logic is what ive been tryin to get through to you and all the rest of your buddies and obviously failing at
so let me put it in plain english..

the crest we are using is not yours. it may resemble yours in some ways but it's unique to our cause. you should relay that message .

oh and this one too..
eat shit, frat boys.

your crest looks like OURS .
we didnt come talking shit to you guys.
heed your own advice and dont be childish.end this pointless bullshit."

Needless to say he didn't reply.

Heh, then why aren't they seeking legal ramifications towards us? :-)

Heh, if their crest was allegedly created before ours, then is this band made up of senior citizens?

LMAO

I would love to be a fly on the wall and see their faces when:
1. Myspace takes down their page.
2. Letters start arriving to them that are of a legal nature.

I am not sure who these "people" think they are, but they have no clue do they?

While IHQ and the GHZ have better things to do as was said, I am sure something of this nature is not taken lightly at all.

They will handle it.

As ZetaPhi said, it would nice to be a fly on the wall.

I would love an explanation of the badge at the bottom of the shield in the coat of arms. That rather resemembles a Lambda set on top of a Chi and Alpha...I wonder the significance that has to their band. Also, why the lines of light atop the helmet when there's nothing inside the circle of lines? Just random lines? I would love to hear their secret reasoning for that. And do they even know what Xalepa Ta Kala means?

I just want to see if they can justify their cries of ownership when we can give reasoning and methodology to everything seen on that beautiful coat of arms. I would love to seem them do the same.

This really makes me laugh.

[john1082]

Joiner, thanks for the explanation. I had heard of closed chapters attempting to operate, but nothing like this!

I just received an e-mail from Shane Foley and he informs me that the materials in question have been removed from MySpace. We all owe Shane a debt of gratitude because I can only begin to imagine what a pain in the ass this was to deal with.

ATTABOY SHANE!!

[GammaZeta]

Nice, but who is Shane Foley John?
