Ok, then I speak for those of us who think this is a whole lotta wah over a whole lotta nothin'. Works both ways, see?
In reality, you don't speak for your entire organization, nor do I speak for my entire organization.
What I see is ganging up on a kid. And yes, really. Really, really, really. If someone starts a local with red, yellow, and green as their colors tomorrow it doesn't automatically mean they stole my organizations red, buff, and green, or that they're somehow threatening anything my organization stands for.
ETA: By the way, her colors are baby blue and lemon yellow, and the mascot is a teddy bear "for friendship". She was accused from "stealing" from Alpha Xi Delta, whose colors are "double blue (light and dark) and gold" and their mascot is "BetaXi Bear", all according to the website. Similar yet truly not the same.
