Look, a member of ZPB posted the original question and she asked what we thought and I posted my thoughts. From her question, I understood that she was concerned that the ZPB hand sign is being used by a group that call themselves ZPG, which is similar to ZPB, which is their (ZPG)
choice , and I have no problem with that. Quite honestly, I have no probelm with the whole hand-sign thing. But, if it irks some of the ZPB members then maybe they should speak up and say 'Hey, your hand-sign is similar to ours, did you know that?', because maybe, just maybe, ZPG sincerely did not know. Or maybe ZPG did know. That is why I proposed notifying ZPG. Should an official letter come from ZPB IHQ? No, I don't think the problem is that serious, but if there are some ZPB members at Texas Tech and they casually and politely say something, then I think that would be enough, if anything at all. I mean if you want your org to stand out, then do something
original.
There are many people out there who have a small understanding of greek life and the nuances that go with it, here, it is hand-signs. It may seem a bit confusing to some one who is not in the greek world when they see two groups with similar names and similar hand-signs.
Since I'm a SGRho anyway, the ZPB/ZPG thing does not affect me directly, but I will support my NPHC/NPC/MCGLO/NAFLO/Locals sisterfriends whenever possible.
