Why, Biters? Seriously, why?

For all the up & coming national GLOs (and anyone who has insight), why ON EARTH do newer orgs feel the need to "borrow" significant elements from established orgs?

Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority, Inc. is barely over eleven years old! And, yet, we have younger multicultural sororities (and not just sororities) B-I-T-I-N-G. As many of you already know, I keep track of the madness for Theta Nu Xi over in our spot:

I don't want this to turn into a stepping/strolling thread, because that is a Greek-wide controversy. I'm talking about organizations specifically stealing elements from established organizations.

So, honestly, why does this happen? What makes someone wake up one day and say, "hmmm...let me see what's up with Greek Life...ooh I like that shield...and ooh I like that mission statement" and then throw then together and call it a sorority/fraternity?

Furthermore, why do people join these organizations and not run in the opposite direction when they see this mess?

Thoughts?
