Don't mean to be nosy, just interested in the development of the Greek system.

Why don't we just merge KKG and Chi Omega and have a SUPERSORORITY? AOII and ADII could join and become Alpha Pi with colors Blue and Red.....add white for a more patriotic feeling! What about Tri Sigma and Phi Sigma Sigma...there just one letter different! You could sail the Tri Sigma sailboat down the Nile to the Sphinx! WTH?

We'll just call it Alpha Beta Gamma Delta Epsilon Zeta Eta Theta Iota Kappa Lambda Mu Nu Omicron Pi Rho Sigma Tau Upsilon Phi Chi Psi Omega.

I really didn't notice the similarities until we colonized a campus that ONLY had AST. With our secondary colors being their only colors and the "Alpha Sigma", I figured there would be some confusion.

Still, I don't get why oldu thinks that's enough to suggest a merge. I realize that to some people, numbers are all that matter, but going to school on the campus with AST's largest chapter, I don't see myself ever being an AST, and I have a feeling the AST girls would say the same thing about ASA.

Also, I just don't think oldu's numbers add up, because I think ASA and AST share a lot of campuses, which would also be another reason it would be impractical to merge. WTH would you do with the campuses that had both? Those girls wouldn't necessarily get along, and even if they did, it would probably throw them well over total.
