eta: I never thought of Tri Delta as a"Southern Sorority" until I visited Atlanta this summer. The number of random people who commented on my Tri Delt tote bag amazed me...not because they knew of Tri Delta, but they said things like you must be an amazing women to belong to such a strong organization and the look of almost admoration because of letters on my sweatshirt/bag on some of their faces. It honestly almost frightened me.

LOL DolphinChica -- now that's a new one -- almost being scared of other people's admiration of your sorority.
More seriously, for info on Tri Delta's acquisition of chapters / "released chapters" of Alpha Sigma Alpha, Sigma Sigma Sigma, and the old regionals Alpha Kappa Psi and Phi Mu Gamma, see pages 33 and 34 of "History of Delta Delta Delta, 1888-1988," that centennial history bound in pine green. If your chapter doesn't have one . . . uh, well, put it on a "wish list" to pass around to alumnae or parents, or hunt on eBay or various used booksellers on the Internet. Some examples:
Southwestern U (TX) -- from Sigma Sigma Sigma
Stetson (FL) -- from Alpha Kappa Psi
Breneau (GA) -- from Alpha Sigma Alpha
Florida State -- from Alpha Kappa Psi
You'll see a few other, non-Southern examples listed. too. And you can check the last paragraph on page 20 of the history listed above, which continues on to the top of page 22.
