irishpipes - your list has been so helpful!

There would be
tons of instances of locals being absorbed. There are also instances of former NPCs which no longer exist. Most were absorbed by other larger NPCs, and one just ceased to exist. All are listed on my big list.
Absorbed NPC groups:
Lambda Omega -> Theta Upsilon 1933 (which was absorbed by DZ in 1962)
Sigma Phi Beta (not the current fraternity by that name) -> Phi Omega Pi 1933 (which was absorbed by DZ in 1946)
Alpha Delta Theta -> Phi Mu 1939
Beta Phi Alpha -> DZ 1941
Phi Omega Pi -> DZ 1946
Delta Sigma Epsilon -> DZ 1956
Pi Kappa Sigma -> Sigma Kappa 1959
Theta Upsilon -> DZ 1962
Beta Sigma Omicron -> ZTA 1964
Iota Alpha Pi - ceased to exist in 1971
It should be noted that many of these defunct NPCs were generally absorbed by the NPC indicated above, but certain chapters may have been absorbed by a different group. (For example, Phi Omega Pi was absorbed by DZ, but the Auburn chapter became AOII.)
