Question?!

Although Alpha Sigma Alpha installed 13 chapters in those early years, by 1913 Alpha Chapter was the only active chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha. The chapter turned to Ida Shaw Martin, founder and past national president for delta delta delta, for assistance. Mrs. Martin suggested that Alpha Sigma Alpha get in touch with Pi Alpha Tau from Miami University in Ohio, and as a result, Pi Alpha Tau was installed as a chapter of Alpha Sigma Alpha in May 1913. The two chapters recognized the insight that Mrs. Martin could provide and and immeditaely elected her to membership.
At this point, Alpha Sigma Alpha decided to limit its chapters to teachers' colleges and colleges of education within universities. By October 1914 two other local groups were sufficiently interested in Alpha Sigma Alpha to arrange for a convention.

OK, my question is......When ASA joined NPC in the 40's, Did Mrs. Martin have to give up her ASA membership due to the no-double joining rule? Do any of you Tri Delt's out there have a beef with Mrs. Founder for betraying Tri-Delt and focusing all her efforts on a different group? Do you consider it betraying? How would you feel if one of your sisters did that now? Would you be ticked if a women from your org. joined a national-non-NPC group and then tried to get into the NPC? How would that sit with you? I'm just playing devils advocate here-if I have all my facts wrong-let me know. I find this very intriguing. The above was taken directly from the ASA website.But, if I am wrong about something-let me know. I have checked the Tri-Delt one yet.
