Welcome! It's not your fault that Pino organizations expropriate US organizations' intellectual property. Glad they're owning up to it and trying to play nice. As a member of an organization which to my knowledge hasn't had our intellectual property stolen, what gives? Are we just not cool enough?

Actually, we(our founders) didn't stole the name, our founders just didn't knew the existence of a much older ΣAE USA when they made our fraternity. And about the usage of ΣAE USa materials, our members unknowingly used them since the 80's - 00's, our Supreme Council ignored this for years until 2007(if I'm not mistaken) due to the racist comments by ΣAE USA members on the internet against our innocent clueless brothers, our Supreme Council implemented a STRICT BAN on all ΣAE USA-related material usage to avoid future confusion.

Even though we still have some hard-headed members who use ΣAE USA materials, we are tryinh our best to URGE them NOT to use it and even punish them if they don't comply.

Was Sigma Nu not the group whose Creed was stolen wholesale for that Zac Efron movie about Greek Life? It was called Neighbors or something like that? I only remember seeing it and being very unimpressed, but I think you or someone else said that the creed they used was yours word-for-word.
