Just pointing out: Sigma Kappa was not one of the Educational Sororities (can't think of the official group) aka "teacher's sororities". It was always one of the NPC sororities.

Personally, I would like to see Delta Gamma make a comeback, since that's the sorority and chapter my ex-fiancee belonged to.

You beat me to it. I think it was AES, but I'm not sure.

Association of Education Sororities was their official title ( I think ).

Alpha Sigma Tau, Sigma Sigma Sigma, Alpha Sigma Alpha are the remaining existing members. They also had Delta Sigma Epsilon, Theta Sigma Upsilon, and Pi Kappa Sigma. There might have been one or two others.

Sigma Kappa was never, is not, a Teacher's College sorority. I assume you mean the AES (?) Sororities. We were founded in 1874 at Colby College in Maine and have always been in the NPC since 1904. (My dates are fuzzy) Regardless, we were not in that group.

Apologies, I assumed that many of the sororities at Univ. Central Arkansas (a former teachers college, and still very strong in teaching.) were Teacher's College Sororities, and Sigma Kappa has a chapter there

edit: it has Alpha Tau, Tri Sig and Alpha Sig

After the AES was disolved/merged with NPC both traditional teacher colleges and traditional four year college/universities were available for expansion by all NPC groups.

I suspect Sigma Kappa took advantage of that opportunity.
