I have heard a lot of interest groups that pick similar names to the glo they want to affiliate with. There are a couple of examples I can think of on my campus. In the 50's before we were originally chartered by AEPhi we were APhiE local sorority. Before the Alpha Xi Delta chapter affiliated I believe they were Alpha Zeta Delta. Then we have a local sorority on campus and I was told the reason why they chose the name Alpha Sigma and the colors green and yellow is because when they were founded they had wanted to affiliate with AST.
