absorbed by Phi Sigma Kappa), Kappa Sigma Kappa (disbanded),
Delta Sigma Epsilon (absorbed by Delta Zeta), Pi Kappa Sigma
(absorbed by Sigma Kappa), Theta Sigma Upsilon (absorbed by
Alpha Gamma Delta), Delta Kappa (disbanded), and perhaps a
few others.

Also, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Alpha Sigma Alpha, Alpha Sigma Tau &
Sigma Tau Gamma are in the NIC and NPC groups, doing quite well, I might add...happily. LOL EPC, TKE

Good history, EPC! I might add, related to the dual membership issue, that when the education sororities joined NPC, each woman who had a dual membership in an education sorority and an NPC one had to choose one and give up membership in the other (at least according to Sigma Sigma Sigma's history). In other words, to use a "KU-style" example: in the early 1940s Jane Kansan spent her freshman year at Emporia State and initiated into Alpha Sigma Alpha. Jane then transferred to KU at the beginning of her sophomore year, went through rush, and pledged and initiated into, let's say ADPi. That was Ok then, because they were not both NPC groups. Then in the late 1940s ASA entered NPC, and Jane got notified that she had to choose either ASA or ADPi. So sororities did have to do a bit of adjusting of their membership rolls in the late 40s to follow the no-dual-membership requirement of the NPC.
