And by the way, in a month or so, when we start getting the annual "I want to start my own sorority" threads, take heed: virtually every NPC sorority and NIC fraternity (and probably the NPHC as well) have another sorority or fraternity who helped. Bitter and alone is no way to start a successful sorority.
When we were chartered, our local Alpha Xi Delta chapter, which was founded about the same time as ours, gave us a really nice framed picture with an excerpt from what I'm assuming is one of Alpha Xi's main history books, commemorating that shared bit of history.

Within our chapter, it seems a disproportionate number of our brothers have ended up marrying Alpha Xis.
