New Sorority Coming SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

On the other hand, everyone could be wrong... maybe turquoise and grey aren't being used for the sorority. She might just live in Happy Pony Rainbow Land where everything comes in bright, pretty colors!

Nope, we're just red (AOII). The only red and white we have is red and white day at Convention - because asking hundreds of women to wear just red (or finding clothing in JUST red) can be a bit much.

Hm, it looks like she made a post and vanished. I kind of hope she comes back to play!

It could be worse, she could have chosen those colors AND picked letters like something along the lines of Beta Tau Alpha.

It's funny that you bring that up, because a while back, I found a sorority on the University of Rhode Island website that called itself Zeta Epsilon Tau Alpha, and had turquoise and gray as its colors and a white violet as its flower... but since I just looked again and saw that it's now a chapter of ZTA founded on May 2 of this year, I guess it's all good.

it is to me. i would wager that the above mentioned groups may not have even known of the others existance when they made their choices for colors. with the internet, there is no excuse. she knew enough to come to greekchat to announce the formation of a new sorority, so she could easily have looked at the member groups listed on gc and done searches.

i don't know why a newly forming sorority does not do a search on existing sororities, their colors, symbols, mascots i.e. things that identify that group, so that they can make their own unique choices and avoid any confusion down the road. how about a shade of orange and white, or yellow and white or pink, or yellow and orange or mint green and peach?

Now, if they are going to do turquoise and gray, and a crown, and a white violet - then we're talking cause for concern. But there are a limited amount of color combos that look good together.

I agree w/ AlphaFrog. Not only that, but there is a small chance that even if they did pick turquoise & grey they did so for different reasons that ZTA chose those colors.

Unless they are blatantly copying another sorority (similar name/symbols/philanthropy/creed/etc) I don't see a cause for concern.

Since this thread is basically useless anyway, ASTalumna06 or fantASTic, could one of y'all tell me if you use the anchor for the same reason we do--it being the traditional symbol of hope? I looked on the AST website and didn't see any info on it. If you can't tell me, that's fine too. I was just really curious because I don't really know any ASTs personally.

After reading this, I actually looked up information about DG, and I didn't realize that your original symbol was just an "H" for hope, and that's how you came to use the anchor. I like it

That isn't the same reason why/how the anchor was chosen for us. I can tell you that our creed is derived from the four symbols on our crest. But as for the deeper meaning.. it's a secret!

I wonder if the OP will ever return? lol

This is a waste of a thread.
