Alpha Sigma Phi has had two mergers and one consolidation since its founding in 1845.
Phi Pi Phi Fraternity merged with Alpha Sigma Phi in 1939.
Alpha Kappa Pi consolidated with Alpha Sigma Phi in 1946.
Alpha Gamma Upsilon merged (all but a few chapters) in 1965.
Of the three, the consolidation with Alpha Kappa Pi had the greatest impact with the rituals and insignia of Alpha Sigma Phi. The pledging ceremony was adapted from the ritual of Alpha Kappa Pi, and the current ASP pledge pin is adapted from the badge of AKPi.
