Back to the original question about why there is nothing like D-9 for AGLO's, I think L.O.C.K. makes an excellent point. Very few AGLO's have a strong national presence. Many are still regional, and some are locals. I think the three largest Asian sororities are alpha Kappa Delta Phi, Kappa Phi Lambda, and Sigma Psi Zeta. alpha Kappa Delta Phi has 36 chapters and colonies. Kappa Phi Lambda has 17 chapters. Sigma Psi Zeta has 16 chapters. However, KPL and Sigma chapters are mostly on the east coast. They do have a couple of mid-west chapters. Likewise, PDPsi chapters are mostly on the east coast, with a few chapters on the west coast. And my sorority has chapters mostly in California. So, even though we may have chapters elsewhere and are considered national organizations, we are concentrated on a certain coast (sort of like regional organizations). I think without enough orgs having a strong national presence, it's going to be hard to have something like D-9. Also, as other people have already stated, many of the national AGLO's are still young organizations, founded in the 80's and 90's. Most of the older AGLO's remained local or regional for decades or still remain local or regional to this day.
