You know, KD and AEPhi both share Green and White as colors - that makes them the EXACT SAME. They should merge.

Sigma Kappa and Tri Sigma both share the Sigma and their badge is the same triangle shape...they should merge, too.

Delta Zeta and Alpha Kappa Alpha should totally merge as well...PINK & GREEN POWER!!! They can be in both the NPC and the NPHC. It wouldn't cause ANY conflict, I promise.

It really makes you wonder what the women in power of these orgs would do without oldu pointing these obvious solutions out to them!

The amusing thing about all of this isn't the new names, and the ridiculously large numbers...

The real problem is the merging together of two organizations with over 100 years of history, ritual, and tradition. Does the new organization now have 13 founders instead of the 5 belonging to ASA and the 8 belonging to AST? Do we merge our creeds and songs together to make one? Do we recognize two national presidents, and two vice presidents, and two treatsurers, etc? Or do we just let them duke it out to see who's running the newly-created Alpha Sigma? And not to mention our national constitutions! Our first convention would last 5 weeks if we were to try and combine the two together.

Fraternities and sororities today are built on 5, 10, 20, 50, more than 100 years of tradition, and you think it's possible to just stop all that and start over, combining two organizations that have nothing to do with each other? Simply having similar names does not make you the same. It makes you part of the greek system. There are 24 letters in the Greek alphabet. In addition to the colors of the rainbow, you have black, white, gray, and pink, and some slight variations on these. That makes about 10 colors. There are currently 123 fraternities/sororities. Chances are, some of them are going to have similar names and/or share a color or two.

I graduated from a campus that has both ASTs and ASAs, and I loved talking and hanging out with the ASA girls. I still do, in fact. And I have absolutely nothing against them. But to combine the two organizations would create complete chaos and animosity on both sides of the fence.

Honestly, what would be the purpose in bringing these two sororities together? To piss everyone off and make our lives harder? Well then, that makes sense... bring it on!

lol
this thread's still open
yay

I have a best friend who is AST and although our secondary colors may be similar to their primary colors. The organization has a different mission and goals for their members. I do not think that would be a good thing to do because I fit ASA not AST. I love AST's!! I have many great friends apart of the organization but I feel that ASA and AST are two entirely different organizations athough their colors and other things are similar.

Don't ask me why but this jackass popped into my head today.

This thread is HILARIOUS. Thanks for bumping it.

[Pinkmagnolia921]

Yes, it is hilarious ��

I feel like they should also merge with Sigma Alpha, the agricultural sorority, to spice everything up.

[*winter*]

Nah, merge Sigma Alpha and Sigma Alpha Iota. Because music and agriculture have so much in common!

Taking a *somewhat* more serious response to this. (Not that it deserves it) According to Wikipedia, the largest merger in Panhellenic history was the merger of Delta Sigma Epsilon into Delta Zeta. At that time (1956) , there were 44 active chapters, 8 inactive chapters in Delta Sigma Epsilon.

According to Wikipedia, Alpha Epsilon Phi currently has 51 active chapters. Theta Phi Alpha has 55 active chapters. (On the one hand, they are unlikely to share many campuses, but that is because they come from different religious backgrounds (Jewish and Catholic)

Additionally, according to first revision of the list of Alpha Epsilon Phi chapters on Wikipedia (from 2009), at that time Alpha Epsilon Phi had 47 active chapters so it doesn't appear to be shrinking.

So get back to me when a sorority drops below Delta Sigma Epsilon's chapter count or has something happen that *Seriously* limits the ability for their national to support them. (like an 8 digit legal judgement against the National).

Have you read about the Association of Education Sororites merging with NPC? You might try that.

Really not sure whether this was directed at me or the original poster...
