Observation: If a school has Alpha Phi, there's a chance it has at least one of the other Syracuse Triad organizations.

I have noticed the Kappa / Pi Phi connection. And they always seem to be on the same level. They had both at North Texas. I always thought it was that monmouth connection. (no Theta or Tri-Delt at UNT).

Edited to add Kappa & Pi Phi are at all the bigger schools here in Texas together. Examples being UT-Austin, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, UNT, TCU, & SMU.

No i iniatated thru alumnae initiation but i will tell you where iw ent to school a lot of houses being mention on this thread ring true.

I went to U of Arkansas and KKG and Pi Phi are on campus as well as tri delt and ADPI i see a running trend of these 2 sets of groups repeating somewhere on another campus. Even here UC Riverside has KKG and Pi Phi. And also from another stand point Arkansas has Chi O( founding school) and ZTA... Cal Poly pomona has those two together as well.

At Ole Miss we have Theta, Pi Phi, & Kappa. We also have AOII, Tri Delt, Kappa Delta, Delta Gamma, Phi Mu, & Chi Omega. When I was in college at Ole Miss we had ZTA and before that Alpha Delta Pi, and before that Alpha Zi Delta and Delta Zeta.

I doubt anybody's done this research, since it would take SO much work and there wouldn't be a whole lot of purpose to it other than satisfying our curiosities.

I've noticed that Kappa and Tri Delta tend to be together quite often, along with Pi Phi and Theta.

I've noticed a KD/DZ/ZTA connection (a school wouldn't have all three, but usually at least two of them), but maybe that's because those are three of the biggest sororities that my school doesn't have.

AOX... Thats pretty true my school we have Theta, DPhiE, Phi Sig, and AZD (but those 1st three were right on!)

So far, this is the only connection at my school- DZ/ZTA.

Interesting...

As far as Theta/Pi Phi/Kappa, we have all three

KD/DZ/ZTA: no KD, but still got the other two

Plus the entire Syracuse Triad (A-Phi, AGD, G-Phi) which rocks ;)

U of Louisville has Pi Phi, but not Theta or Kappa. AFAIK, neither one has ever chartered there, but I could be wrong about that.

They also have KD and DZ, but no ZTA. I believe we used to have either a ZTA (or maybe AZD??) chapter there, but it closed in the late 60s-early 70s.

the only sororities penn state AREN'T at penn state are:

Delta Phi Epsilon
Phi Sigma Sigma
Alpha Sigma Tau
Alpha Gamma Delta
Theta Phi Alpha
Alpha Epsilon Phi

I think that all of these sororities had chapters at penn state at one time or another. I could be wrong. i know for sure that alpha gamma delta was there, cuz it was there when i went through recruitment fall 2000. also, i'm pretty sure there was a theta phi alpha chapter at some point. there's an interest group for recolonization, but our panhellenic isn't open for expansion right now. with one chapter recently closing, and during fall 2002 formal recruitment only 7 sororities making quota before snap bidding and/or cob'ing we don't have the numbers for a new chapter to come to campus. :(

if not all of the Syracuse Triad! So many schools have all of them: Alpha Phi, AGD, and Gamma Phi

I also noticed that schools that had ZTA also had KD...part of the Longwood 4

PSUSigKap, I can confirm that there used to be an AEPhi chapter at Penn State.

Out of the previously-mentioned connections, the only one at my school is AXO and Theta. We have Theta but not Kappa or Pi Phi, and we have Alpha Phi but no ADPi.

I've noticed that GPhiB is often the only NPC sorority at a school...

At my school we have
Chi Omega
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Delta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Beta Phi

At my sister's school they have
Alpha Chi Omega
Alpha Kappa Alpha
Delta Delta Delta
Delta Gamma
Delta Sigma Theta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Kappa Kappa Gamma
Pi Beta Phi

So, I guess that this supports some of the connections (especially Pi Phi/Kappa/Theta)...

I've noticed that Kappa Sig, Pike, SAE, or SigEp are usually on the same campuses. I think its the whole southern "elite" thing...Just like most southern schools that have ADPi chapters have Phi Mu chapters also

In the old days...we had
Delta Delta Delta
Kappa Alpha Theta
Pi Beta Phi
Kappa Delta
Delta Gamma
sadly they are all defunct and Theta denied a request by a local to recolonize last spring so I don't think anyone's coming back soon. (I have no idea why we started a new chapter rather than recolonizing :confused:)
