Sorority Files Lawsuit After Sacred Secrets Posted On Penny Arcade Forums

Limekiller42 writes: Lawyers for the Phi Sigma Sigma sorority have filed suit in Seattle's King County Superior Court against an unidentified person for "publicizing the sorority's secret handshake, robe colors and other practices." The well-written article is by Levi Pulkkinen of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and states that the sorority is seeking a restraining order and financial compensation for damages.

    Those are not the secrets I would be interested in.

      The presence of a penis would probably be the first clue.

      Yes. But he is still a man as well. A man with no penis. A rebel without a cock.

    Yeah, but is this a legally binding NDA ... or is it some sorority mumbo-jumbo which amounts to "I swear on the holy training bra, as a testament to the paddling of the swollen ass, that I am beholden to the sorority, ack ack a-dack".

    Maybe, just maybe, the oaths and rituals which take place in sororities and fraternities doesn't meed the legal threshold of a binding NDA?

    I'm sorry, but people are talking about trademarking secret handshakes, which sounds idiotic to someone who only ever saw the fraternity system in bad movies.

    So, just keep hearing Patrick Stewart saying "And now, the paddling of the swollen ass", and ask yourself ... does this crap merit legal protection?

    "handshakes and mandatory dress colors "

    I know other groups that have hand signs and colors. They're called the Bloods and the Crips, among other names.

    Hmph. The Freemasons should sue them for creating a derivative work. The case would be called Idiot v Idiot.

    Seriously. And none of them would even date a socially awkward Computer Science student. Vapid cunts. Well, they're all fat and ugly now, while I post on Slashdot and have a sweet Fedora collection.

    Considering it is a breach of contract suit, I'd be interested to see what the actual contract looks like.

    Dude, the contract is a sacred secret that's never written down and you can't know it.
