Maybe because there was an Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity at our school who were known as Alpha Sigs.
I don't know if that applies to other chapters or not.

We tried Alpha Sigs, it worked OK cause AST went by Taus & we didn't have Alpha Sigma Phi. But half the time it was ASAs and ASTs anyway. I know that some of the chapters in the midwest are "Alphas" but I think unless you have been that forever, there's too much danger of getting mixed up w/ the 8 zillion other things that start with Alpha. ETA (after reading Geeky Penguin's post) I am not sure how much Alpha Phi Alpha would like it.
We had girl Phi Sigs (Phi Sigma Sigma) and boy Phi Sigs (Phi Sigma Kappa) and just to make it interesting, a local fraternity named Phi Sigma. There was MUCH fighting over which fraternity was "The Real Phi Sigs."
