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.

Yaaaaaaaaaay.

So, anyway, rhoyaltempest and I don't give a shit about this 15 year old and her sorority. She needs to take her young behind on somewhere else. We are talking about people who intentionally and noncoincidentally adopt symbols, mottos, and anything else from other organizations. The first 3 pages of this thread target the OP's sorority. I don't care whether or not that holds true. The point that we are making still stands. People who are founding a new GLO need to pay attention to the notion of "stealing" instead of thinking that GLOers are as tolerant (or unaware) as Alumiyum is about this topic.
