Speaking your mind about something (as we're all doing here) does not equal coming down on anyone, like you are trying to imply. In fact, if you haven't noticed, the conversation has moved on to "stealing" from other orgs in general. I'm not even thinking about the OP anymore.

I agree 100% with 100% of this.

So, it isn't just that they coincidentally found a teddy bear and a color. Stop tripping over yourself.

You speak only for yourself, as do I, though many of us share opinions with others.

I'm not tripping over anything at the moment, just failing to see what the big deal is. Truly.

So far the only "point" has been that she has "stolen" colors and a mascot. Please enlighten me to a hidden, different "point".

No, I speak for those of us in GLOs who don't confuse having things in common with having things stolen.

You speak for yourself and the value that your symbols hold for your organization. I would never tell people that their symbols are the least significant thing about their organization because I don't know the value of other GLOs' symbols.

You can always stop typing if you don't see the importance of an issue.

Only colors and a mascot? Really?

Ok, then I speak for those of us who think this is a whole lotta wah over a whole lotta nothin'. Works both ways, see?

In reality, you don't speak for your entire organization, nor do I speak for my entire organization.

What I see is ganging up on a kid. And yes, really. Really, really, really. If someone starts a local with red, yellow, and green as their colors tomorrow it doesn't automatically mean they stole my organizations red, buff, and green, or that they're somehow threatening anything my organization stands for.

ETA: By the way, her colors are baby blue and lemon yellow, and the mascot is a teddy bear "for friendship". She was accused from "stealing" from Alpha Xi Delta, whose colors are "double blue (light and dark) and gold" and their mascot is "BetaXi Bear", all according to the website. Similar yet truly not the same.

Yaaaaaaaaaay.

So, anyway, rhoyaltempest and I don't give a shit about this 15 year old and her sorority. She needs to take her young behind on somewhere else. We are talking about people who intentionally and noncoincidentally adopt symbols, mottos, and anything else from other organizations. The first 3 pages of this thread target the OP's sorority. I don't care whether or not that holds true. The point that we are making still stands. People who are founding a new GLO need to pay attention to the notion of "stealing" instead of thinking that GLOers are as tolerant (or unaware) as Alumiyum is about this topic.

Ok, so two of you have had a side conversation. In your opinion, they should worry about stealing. In mine, GLOs shouldn't worry about a new sorority with the same colors unless they are in fact the same sorority by a different name.

SKEPi 4-EVER!

Sorry, had to bring that back olskool.

I would like to take an opportunity to thank those of you who have shown me support despite my childish lie. Just to set the record straight I had never even heard of Alpha Xi so the fact that our colours and mascot are similar is truly a coincidence. I did take some lines from Kappa Delta but that was just while I started up our site. The Omega Zeta blog is not searchable so no one was supposed to see it until we had decided on our opening blog entry. Once again I apologise and thank you for the support.

I know there have been discussions on here about high school sororities, so you might do a search for those threads. Sorry that I can't do it myself at the moment.

okay great. So I guess you're going to give KD their lines back and create original text? Copying text verbatim isn't cute even at 15.

Just wondering.

True but since the OP chose to surface again (instead of leaving well enough alone, like we would believe anything she says now), I just had to ask her a question. And by the way, for all those auditioning to be the OP's Big sister, even young people need to learn that lieing only leads to others not believing a dang thing they say.

And you should star in the next Clueless. You are still on colors and such when that is not ultimately what the conversation has become. Perfect example of someone REFUSING to see others' viewpoints.

FAIL.
