Not likely. I can't speak on behalf of my organization, but I (personally) would not want to put the time, money and effort into pursuing legal action anyway.

I have always loved the fact that Theta Nu Xi spells "ONE."

Yes it has been taken down. The attention and commentary they were receiving on their guestbook was both unwelcomed and unwelcoming.

The matter has been handled by our National Board. They collected the information they needed and then acted. Other than that, there's nothing more to be said. And, yes, it was seriously crazy!

old topic,i know, but I'm new here and I couldn't resist it, I had to reply

I can relate to this...it just boils my blood when I see GLOs shamelessly use colors,letters, insignia, and NICKNAMES that belong to another GLO...it's just a matter of respect and acknowledgement...I mean, seriously, be original! Or were their founders that uncreative?

I think in the new millenium, there is no excuse for this because of the technology we now have available for research (internet). However, with older multicultural and Latina/o greek organizations (those founded prior to the early 1990s), it was extremely RARE for one organization to have even *HEARD* about another (let alone "copy" them) because they were generally spread out in different parts of the country. Clearly, the only way to find out about all other MCGLOs or LGLOs in those days would have been to write a letter or make a phone call of inquiry to every single university in America, and no one was going to do that! One simply needs to think about history to understand this (but I believe a lot of people choose to ignore that and draw conclusions based on rumor).

In the case of these ladies at Cal, however, I find it hard to believe they didn't bother to do any research as to which organizations were already in existence. It could have been easily done.
