I'm going to forward that link to Nationals; I'm sure there's some sort of copyright infringement going on there.

Creepy to the nth power. But whatever makes you happy I guess.

You would think that they would at least have the brains to change up the crest enough to clear it.
There's an old ASA chapter that was originally one of the NY state regionals, then went ASA with the other chapters in that regional, then all the national charters in NY state got pulled. They never went back to the regional even though the other chapters did. They still use a LOT of ASA stuff, including the colors and the creed and call themselves ASA (then again, so do many Asian or African Students Associations). I think we've never gone after them since it really wasn't their fault that they left the national - it was a state enforced decision. I'm wondering if DZ kind of looks at this in the same way.

I kinda feel sorry for these girls. You would think they would know if they weren't recognized nationally. I guess there's a possibility that they really don't know...but 30 years later?

So I googled this college and people are saying that it is a cult and the students there are getting brainwashed. They have a strict dress code and you have to do their meditation program and it sees like they are creating their own "utopia" yet when you really look at it's freakishly messed up.

When I look at that site, there's all this stuff from Duke, too...is anyone else getting that? I think I clicked on something that said "provisional status" at the bottom of the page.
I first heard about this "college" a few years ago when there was a facebook virus going around. A lot of my friends' networks were changed to Maharashi U instead of whatever school they actually went to, and when you clicked on their profiles, you were redirected to the school's site.

I used to go to a school like this (just got out of one and transferred to a REAL school). Many of the people at these schools have some seriously wacky beliefs about the mind that read a lot like brainwashing (a la Scientology, Dahn Yoga, etc).

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around the idea of this being in the middle of Iowa.

Perversely, I'd love to know what their interpretation of our Crest and colors are.
