This is how I feel about it
I don't mean to bust in on your forum...but this is a topic started about both of us so I thought I would add my input.
I think that it is a severe coincidence that we have similar sybols because throughout our history things have changed and if you take this into account you will realize that initialy we werent that similar at all.
Our original colors were Purple, Moss (I think but it was for sure a green color), and white. Our badge used to be a skull and bones originaly and didnt have the triangle shape with the pearls like it does now.
If nothing had ever changed we would not even be discussing this. The only reason we are is because they did.
There are so many other chapters that have purple violets as there flower (ADPi,) or the pearl for (at least one of) their jewel(s) (AXO, AEPhi, AGD, ASA, AST, AXiD, XO, Tri-Delt, DPhiE, GPhiB, KD, Pi Phi). These were popular at the time most of our sororities were founded. Also there are other chapters with similar badges to both of ours (DPhiE).
If your still not convinced take a good look at our CRESTs and new member pins. These have not changed since the forming of our organizations. They are so completely different. Thin about what your crest symbols mean and look at the other sororities. Can you imagine that theirs in anyway similar to your own? NO!That is where the true meaning of each sisterhood lies...in our ritual which I can almost promise is very different just by looking at what is out there.
This is why I think all of this a big coinicidence! Just look at the FACTS!
Sigma Love and Mine,
Brenda
