In preparation for recruitment season, Alpha Chi Omega redesigned their website late in the summer of 2006. Apparently impressed with the site's amateurish design, fellow Panhellenic sorority Kappa Alpha Theta updated their own website the following week with a suspiciously similar design, including an identical content layout and menu area. Despite protests from AXO, Theta members refused to change the design, claiming that the similarity in design was coincidental and resulted from the fact that both used the same Apple iWeb template.
