From what I know the group at SDSU was a local named Alpha Epsilon formed with the intention of eventually affiliating with AEPhi.
As for the ASU chapter I haven't heard anything specific/official but my guess is they probably used to be the SAEPi chapter. I really doubt that SAEPi closed and then a completely new interest group formed a few months laters to affiliate with a similiar niche sorority.
I know SAEPi has been mentally linked by some to AEPhi because they mention us in their history but my instinct tells me that this is a unique situation. Why would groups go through all the effort to affiliate with one group only to drop them and go through even more effort to affiliate with another group. These are my assumptions of course because I don't know the official story. Anyone on the board from ASU who knows more details?
AEPhi chapters (at least from what I have seen) rarely form out of general open NPC expansions processes on campus. Colonies almost always seem to come from interest groups or locals forming with the specific intent of affiliating with AEPhi or a historically Jewish sorority.
