It appears as if they've been doing some "editing" on their myspace page. They're now listed as "single" instead of "swinger." LOL.
And I think it is funny that they say they've "changed" all their colors and symbols. Thank god, they did give up the golden key badge on this new edited Myspace page. But there is all this BS on there about how their colors are navy blue and turquoise. Yep, that is SO different than dark and light blue. I'm sure no one will be confused with shirts in two shades of blue that say "Kappa."
Long story short: you may think you've got something unique, but in the end you're nothing more than wannabe sorority hacks. If you thought you could have survived without mooching off of KKG's established reputation you woudn't choose to continue with KKG's colors. Personally, I'd give you some slack if you changed to blue and gold, blue and silver, or blue and purple. Something besides blue and blue. You just don't want to give it up, huh? Is it that you know you can't survive without being a leech?

According to their MySpace, this is their motto:
"On the road of Life, there are friends and there are sisters. Kappa Gamma sisters wanted!"
...which is blatantly ripped off of the Volkswagen ad slogan. Seriously, they can't even write their own motto? Give me a break.

Yea, that is most definitely NOT a "motto".
They obviously do not own dictionaries:
mot·to Audio Help /ˈmɒtoʊ/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[mot-oh] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
–noun, plural -toes, -tos. 1. a maxim adopted as an expression of the guiding principle of a person, organization, city, etc.
2. a sentence, phrase, or word expressing the spirit or purpose of a person, organization, city, etc., and often inscribed on a badge, banner, etc.
I wonder if their "motto" was something else before... has VW always had that slogan?

VW used it for 10 years, up until 2006.
Yeah, there's a big difference between a recruitment slogan and a "motto", ha ha.

Ahh... so I'm guessing the Founders are probably the ones who ripped it off VW then since they've been around for less than 10 yrs.
I was thinking their motto used to be something else, then someone heard a commercial and said "hey! that sounds cool! let's change our motto to this!" or something. I guess that's not the case. They maybe were watching TV when they were coming up with the idea to copy... errr... create a sorority and the commercial came on, and they decided to use that as their 'motto'
I wonder if VW has a copyright on it?

The only thing lamer than trying to copy a superior organization like Kappa Kappa Gamma is becoming defensive when called on it.
