Yes...exactly what everyone above said and then some..they could have been founded earlier..just like Alpha Sigma at UWW...I have a few friends in that local. There are a lot of locals out there..some that were discovered earlier than some nationals...colors and mascots are going to be the same in some places regardless.
There is more to that story of AS and ASA...some sketchiness went on...until it was clear that AS was founded in earlier..so now...it's all clear...
Just be careful to put blame on groups until you know the scoop.
33girl found out the embarrassing way... (sorry to hear hun)
