Saw this lovely group on facebook. They're clearly not ASA's but they're using both your letters and your crest:

Alpha Sigma Alpha

I can't see it - it tells me I have to be logged in.

tunatartare · #3 12-15-2006, 01:32 PM

Oh I tried to figure out how to link it and that's the only way it let's me.

tunatartare · #4 12-15-2006, 01:35 PM

Ok so I couldn't find another way to link it, but here is the group description on facebook:
THIS IS FOR PPL'S SCHOOL WHO DON'T HAVE FRATERNITY OR A SORORITY... OR MAYBE CAN'T EVEN GET IN... CUZ THEY HAVE 2 PAY OR DO SOME STUPID (MAKES NO SENSE) STUFF... FUCK THEM! WE CAN START ONE OF OUR OWN! WHY PAY FOR THAT JUST 2 BECOME SOMEONE'S "BROTHER" OR "SISTER" FUCK THAT!

And here is the group image:

I copied and pasted the groups description...

Description: THIS IS FOR PPL'S SCHOOL WHO DON'T HAVE FRATERNITY OR A SORORITY... OR MAYBE CAN'T EVEN GET IN... CUZ THEY HAVE 2 PAY OR DO SOME STUPID (MAKES NO SENSE) STUFF... FUCK THEM! WE CAN START ONE OF OUR OWN! WHY PAY FOR THAT JUST 2 BECOME SOMEONE'S "BROTHER" OR "SISTER" FUCK THAT!

I logged in and found it. I sent an email to HQ.

Fake GLOs on facebook, it's the hot new thing! (Found one at my grad school just recently

)

AlphaFrog · #8 12-15-2006, 02:51 PM

Lovely - I'm sure they're TEH HOTNESS.

I reported the group to the facebook admins. The picture says Beta Iota at the top. Does anyone know where that chapter is located? They may want to know that someone is using a logo they made.

AlphaFrog · #10 12-16-2006, 11:08 AM

BI chapter is Radford.

HeavenslilAngel · #11 06-26-2007, 01:44 AM

Yeah so its been 7 months now and the group is still there. I kinda got in on this a little late but wanted ya'll to know Facebook has done nothing about this. It's probably a freedom of speech or whatever as the reason. UGH!

Drolefille · #12 06-26-2007, 01:46 AM

The Tri Sigma one only went down after I talked to the creator of the group. Someone from ASA might have similar luck with this group (or someone from the right network.)

There's a discussion about this on Sister Circle. The best we can do right now is to just keep reporting the group until facebook admins have no choice but to take it down.

You are partly right, however, I have done some further research and Facebook will be getting a phone call from me about this. I'm a founder of my chapter and am a die-hard ASA like all of you but if something of this nature has been going on for 7 months, just talking about is not going to help and contrary to popular belief reporting it via the internet isn't going to help either because it would have been gone by now if internet reporting actually worked. I don't care if I have to talk to the founder of facebook and call him multiple times per day. This site will be gone shortly. I may be over reacting in the opinions of some but a)I have nothing better to do b)Like all of us, I don't appreciate people who know nothing about greek life doing things like this c) I know that I can put a stop to this because I'm VERY persistent in these types of matters so......I will announce it to the GC and Sister Circle worlds when the site is gone. Thank you to all for your support!

Were they doing something like this, or was it just a bunch of clueless people who were being relatively benign and when they found out there was a real Tri Sigma they were sorry?

I'm afraid talking to anyone in this group would make things a lot worse.
