I would agree that letters are pretty sacred; although I realize there IS overlap out there; especially in regards to locals. I have not come across another org that has our letters and honestly; I'm glad because it would just seem so strange...
I would say the shield/crest/coat-of-arms is also quite sacred -- but I have never seen an organization just outright copy another group's crest. I am sure it has happened -- but that
really takes a lot of nerve...
Symbols and colors seem to be a grab-bag. Tons of overlap in those areas. So much, that I think it's pretty inexcusable to get touchy about it. Unless a group has taken the same symbol/mascot or mascot/colors or colors/handsign, etc.
It's interesting that you mentioned principles. Although all of us have different mission statements, I think the general theme is the same; to establish a bond between individuals and function as a unit in our community. Also most of us are members of organizations that participate in community service. The priorities may be different and we may on the surface seem to be vastly different...but what we
do is often times very similar.
That's just my own personal take.
