It bothers me because some jokers have the tendency to take and eventually later on down the road call it their own.

No question, the KKGs were not even playing the same sport as the other groups linked. They were having fun and trying something new.
But it seems pretty silly to me to get huffy about "borrowing" unless your organization was the one that came up with the idea of a national group with local chapters around the country, named with three Greek letters that stand for a secret motto revealed only during a ritual initiation ceremony, along with a secret grip, coat of arms, and a distinctive membership badge. Every group after Phi Beta Kappa took that whole idea part and parcel and ran with it. I am sure you call yours "your own"! And as a PBK member, I think that's great.
