This is why you were jumped on.

Sigma Kappa was never, is not, a Teacher's College sorority. I assume you mean the AES (?) Sororities. We were founded in 1874 at Colby College in Maine and have always been in the NPC since 1904. (My dates are fuzzy) Regardless, we were not in that group.

Sorry to bump a 2 year old thread, but I found this while searching for something else, and just thought I'd clarify since no one else directly said it.
Sigma Kappa is not and never was a member of the AES. However, Pi Kappa Sigma was a member of the AES. Sigma Kappa absorbed the remaining Pi Kappa Sigma chapters in 1959 (for the SKs, this is mostly our Delta ____ chapters; that's why there were so many founded in 1959). This is why Sigma Kappa has a handful chapters at "Teacher College" schools, though we are not a former AES member group.
The same can be said for Zeta Tau Alpha (absorbed Beta Sigma Omicron), Phi Mu (can't remember the name of the AES sorority they absorbed---was it Alpha Delta Theta?), and Delta Zeta (absorbed several AES sororities, some of which had absorbed other AES sororities prior...includes Sigma Phi Beta, Theta Upsilon, Delta Sigma Epsilon, Phi Omega Pi, and others).
