Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta

Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta is a non-affiliated, genderless sorority formed mysteriously in 2007. Membership is fluid, and no official sorority records are kept. Its name, curious and controversial, varies in length, and is never shortened to cutesy shit like "D^12" or "DDDDDelta!" In addition, the sorority has no affiliation to the better known Delta Delta Delta, a fact which engenders much debate among Knox's Greek community.

Membership Requirements

Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta has one requirement for membership: that pledges say the hallowed name of the sorority so many times that they forget its meaning. Many analysts have traced the derivation of this initiation ceremony to French Post-Structuralist and Semiotic theory. Knox faculty Dan Wack and Lynette Lombard have written extensively on the roles of these theories in the sorority. Lombard, in a 2007 publication on the colony, made a controversial comparison between the colony and FIJI. Her thesis was that the latter, also a Knox Greek organization, maintains secrecy about its true name to maintain its power, while the former tends to invoke its name as frequently as possible. Reportedly, this difference has prompted a piece by Eric Edi concerning the role of nommo as a power construct of the sorority.

Governance

Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta is governed by its members. Every decision made by any member is a decision made by the colony. This has been labelled by some social theorists as a system of automatic consensus. In addition, the group is affiliated with a mysterious group of 13 Grandmothers of the World, which may or may not have sway in the decisions of the group (be they aesthetic, moral, philosophical, political, or personal).

Symbolism

Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta's symbols are varied, according to the decisions of its members. However, two images are often featured in literature associated with the organization. The first is a right triangle, with one red side, one blue side, and a gold hypoteneuse. The second image, less frequently employed, is of a silver sea lion, or sometimes a seal. The mythical octacorn has been falsely associated with the group, as no clear representation can be traced to any possible member.

Famous Members

Due to the group's unusual membership requirements, the membership of famous Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Deltans is a highly debated topic. Alleged members include 19th century philosopher Ferdinand de Saussure, 20th century artist and musician Yoko Ono, and the Miami Dolphins. Members based in Knox and Galesburg have included Carl Sandburg, George Washington Gale Ferris, Jr., and, some say, Abraham Lincoln. Knox's own Lincoln Studies Center has done extensive research, to no concrete conclusion, of that affiliation.

Recent literature on the membership of more famous Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Deltans reveals that Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta Delta, like The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints can induct members through a complicated and highly secretive ritual. This accounts for the absence of the organization's name in the indeces of several books on Ferris, Sandburg, and Ono.
