the truth about Phi Beta PINK!

I don't know, it just doesn't seem right for just anyone to have "mock letters", plus it's a company that basically sells itself on sex appeal - not a great Greek image.

I don't know, what do you guys think? Has anyone else seen this? I know there are a lot of threads on the fact that no one needs to be "the letter police", but it seems really odd that a store is selling this stuff.

EDIT: I just searched it, and they've got shirts with the greek letters Phi Beta Pi on them. According to one website, the designer of the whole line is a Pi Phi?
Victoria Secret used to be called Phi Beta PINK because a Pi Phi was the Designer for Victoria Secret. That's why VS's mascot is an angel b/c Pi Phi's mascot is an angel. Phi Beta PINK is a play on words for Pi Beta Phi. And there is a secret that only piphi's know about Victoria Secret.

PPL&M!
