They were NOT doing our (unofficial) handsign the way that most of us do it.

This is only ADPi's bone to pick.

Did you look through all the pictures, I swear I saw it in one. Maybe it was on someone's page and not the main group page photo albums. I'm not going to go back and look, I already wasted 30 minutes of my life being horrified.

Regardless, it be tacky!

I still can't help but get a little angry when I think about it. Just so very disappointed.

I know that i'm not an ADPi, but if you all had any issues or questions about this group it would have been nice if you all could have asked me about it. I could have told you all everything

Yes, this group did call themselves the Adelphean Society originally (why they call themselves "new" instead of Nu, I don't know however). The group was started to eventually become affiliated with an NPC. When they started they wanted to be affiliated with ADPi, thus why they called themselves the Adelphean Society. When I got back to campus, the GL advisor at the time (an AGD btw, who some on GC know personally) had me talk to them. They are very sweet girls who obviously were just a little misguided.

They aren't like the Kappa Kappa Gamma copycats who just want to use the names, symbols, etc just to use them. They do really want to be affiliated with an NPC. They did change their name to New Delta, and i'm pretty sure I know their reasons why. I didn't know that their motto and things were the same as ADPi, and I might speak to the current GL advisor about it tomorrow at our AP meeting.

Hi epchick - I'm not sure I understand this statement. I don't know that it's general knowledge that you teach and/or are somehow affliated with the school. At least I didn't know... and I'm pretty sure there are many others who didn't know that.

Personally, I don't see a difference between copying names/symbols/mottos/etc "just to use them" and 'because they really want to be affiliated with an NPC". To many people, copying is copying, plain & simple.

It's been discussed many times over when groups like this come up- copying symbols/mottos/etc is not going to get the group the kind of attention they are looking for.

I totally missed this thread. But, I was going to say this until I read your response epchick:

Delta isn't an official greek letter?

I'm sure it's not a coincidence. That said, Adelphian was once a fairly common name for college literary societies and similar organizations.

Again, though, I don't think this is a coincidence at all, and I can completely understand the feelings of the ADPis here.

I meant NEW isn't a greek letter and they still use an n in their wooden letters making it seem as if it was NU DELTA rather than NEW DELTA

Right, so there's a rule that states they can use "Delta" but it has to be "New" instead of "Nu?" Is that a rule regarding the number of Greek letters in a name or is there already a Nu Delta?

Please answer..since you know so much...as a nonmember.
