Identity Theft

Today I found out more about a comment I posted the other day about males pledging AKA. It seems that a group of homosexual men at either Texas State University or Tennessee State University didn't try to pledge Alpha Kappa Alpha but formed MIAKA. The problem that has arrisen is that they stole the colors, the shield, part of their name, and etc. to have their group, sorority or whatever they want to call it. My advice is that you can form whatever group you want to but don't steal someone else's identity in the process. If they wanted to form their group they could have made up all their own things and everything would be okay from the standpoint of people who don't dislike homosexuals as I don't myself. I would say this about anyone may they be straight, athletes, other females or anyone who tries to steal someone else's style. There is an old saying that copying is the most sincere form of flattering. This might not be the best place to impose that flattering. To these guys, get your own gig. Right now the attention may be flattering to them but eventually, it will most likely turn negative because of the world we live in and even just because they ripped off another prestigious organization that is going almost 100 years strong. Not just to them but anyone else out there who wants to perpetrate, stop hatin' and do your own thing. Hell you never know, one day you might be able to trump the people that you are trying to mimick.
