In my experience living through corporate mergers, there's really no such thing. Somebody wins and somebody loses. I highly doubt that if a big NPC sorority "merged" with a small sorority there would be any combining of ritual, colors, whatever. They might take that opportunity to change their logo or mascot or something, but that would really just be to update or get rid of something nobody liked anyway. Or as in the example of a certain bank I used to do travel for, they took a perfectly good logo and made it into a godawful one, even though it STILL didn't accommodate any of the other bank's image.

Corporations and sororities are two vastly different things.

If giant NPC group XYZ merged with teeny regional group ABC and basically screwed ABC over, the ABC alumnae (in this day & age of the internet) could really make XYZ's name mud.

In the case of the bank you cited, most people, even if they don't like the new "image" probably stayed with it just becuase it's more of a pain in the ass to change than it is to stay where you are. Sororities aren't like that. If someone goes into rush and has seen a zillion things about how XYZ is a bunch of jerks, it's going to affect her opinion. If it effects enough people's opinions, XYZ will suffer in membership numbers and revenue.
