Okay...I'm going to say it. What's wrong with being a former AES sorority? These organizations are just as valid as the original NPC groups. No, Sigma Kappa was not a member of the AES. If Arkansas wanted to invite Tri Sig or ASA or AST to their campus, I'm sure they'd have a lovely, successful chapter.

There isn't anything wrong with it.

You don't see anything wrong with the tone here? Its the implication of inferiority that bothers me.

Obviously it must to revive a 2-year-old thread. I, however, was specifically referring to AOII Angel's comment which is why I quoted it. There is nothing "wrong" with former AES members.

That's why I made my post. I found his post very offensive in tone, but wanted to point out that being a former AES group was not a sign of inferiority since everyone else just pointed out that Sigma Kappa was never an AES group.

I sort of got that vibe too, but did not say anything. Of course, the college I went to only had Sigma Sigma Sigma, Alpha Sigma Alpha and Alpha
Sigma Tau, so I don't guess I really had a choice one way or another, even if I thought that this was a truth, which I obviously don't.

My post was meant to be 2 parts. First, to point out EW's ignorant comment and second, a history lesson, to clarify that Sigma Kappa did absorb an AES sorority, Pi Kappa Sigma. Sorry if it came across as me feeding a superiority/inferiority complex, because I think most posters on here know my feelings on a concept of National "tiers".

Nah...I didn't have a problem with your post at all, Violetpretty. I'd expect for you to jump to Sigma Kappa's defense anyway! I just posted what I did because no one had yet to make that point. I'm sure no one in the former AES groups took offense at your post.

Oh relax.
Don't get sand in your underwear.
By the way, does anyone know anything about Sigma Tau Gamma? They have quite a few chapters for never being mentioned at some of the larger campuses. Are they something along the lines of the AES but fraternity style?
