As for badges which look similar....usually not a connection only that when the later chose their badge, they worked with a jeweler who had "dies/dyes" (sorry, not sure which way it is spelled) in a certain shape. You may recall seeing a badge for a group which is Phi Mu's badge turned sideways - I think Delta Chi Sigma?
It was cheaper to use an existing die/dye than create a new one and since the enamel piece on top is a seperate piece anyway, it could be made with any letters or symbols.
For mergers, you have to look at where the group being absorbed had chapters and where the absorber had chapters. If the group being absorbed was represented on 50 campuses and only 5 overlapped with the absorber, then it was a good fit. A friend of mine is a Beta Sigma Omicron AND an Alpha Phi. How? Her BSO chapter was ona campus which already had ZTA so ZTA did not absorb the BSO girls, they just went alumnae of BSO and then were allowed to petititon another national to be absorbed.
